The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jarrian Jones, Round 5, Pick 37, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They did well to land Braden Fiske in the 64th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in the 132nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommy Eichenberg in slot 159. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Jarrian Jones at pick 173 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
