Some picks age like wine; Ben Sinnott at slot 65 will need to, sitting 66 spots clear of his grade. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Their trades came out a wash either way.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick-by-Pick
Jordan Morgan at slot 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in No. 55 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 65, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
They paid a round early for Justin Eboigbe in the 141st pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at Round 6, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They liked Michael Barrett enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Solomon Byrd at the 239th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
