The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Jenkins, the 70th overall pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A slide stopped in the 39th overall pick, with Terrion Arnold worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They robbed the room for Kris Jenkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in slot 108; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Brennan Jackson at the 140th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They let Dillon Johnson come to them and pounced at No. 185. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
