You could see the war room lean forward. Jahdae Barron at Round 3, Pick 13 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Membou reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 14th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
They liked Tre Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Shemar Stewart at pick No. 45 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in Round 3, Pick 5, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
