Some picks age like wine; Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 53 will need to, sitting 57 spots clear of his grade.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jabbar Muhammad in No. 53, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A wild overpay on Jordan Burch in the 84th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
