The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Jenkins, pick 88, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged.
Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
No drama and no debate, Cooper DeJean went about where he belonged in the 27th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Kris Jenkins in slot 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They robbed the room for Cole Bishop here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at No. 171. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Joe Milton III at pick No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jaheim Bell in pick No. 186, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at pick 202, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Kendall Milton at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They did well to land Tarheeb Still in slot 245, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They read the board right and Jalen Sundell was the payoff at the 255th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
