The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Myles Harden, No. 255, roughly 87 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Samac pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They paid sticker price for Jaden Hicks in No. 58, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Somehow Jaylen Wright was still sitting there in slot 88, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Adisa Isaac in pick No. 91 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in the 126th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Brandon Coleman at pick 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
The board had cheaper options than Garret Greenfield at No. 219, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A conviction pick on Nick Samac at Round 7, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Myles Harden in the 255th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
