The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Trevin Wallace, Round 7, Pick 35, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jefferson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
Chop Robinson at the 41st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 25, where Sedrick Van Pran graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
The board had Max Melton higher than pick 91, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at slot 126, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 183
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 169th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini at No. 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
Kendall Milton in No. 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
The board had cheaper options than Trey Taylor at pick 256, and it noticed. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 257th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
