Some picks age like wine; Jack Westover at Round 7, Pick 35 will need to, sitting 66 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Landing Wright that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Graham Barton is a better player than pick 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Kris Jenkins at pick No. 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jaylen Wright in No. 91, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached into another round for Tommy Eichenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
They paid sticker price for Malik Mustapha in slot 169, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They let Tanor Bortolini come to them and pounced at pick No. 202. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevin Wallace in pick 245. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
They reached a country mile for Jack Westover at the 255th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
You do not let a cornerback like Daijahn Anthony reach Round 7, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They jumped the gun on Trey Taylor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
