It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kevin Jennings in the 113th pick, a good 131 spots before the room expected him.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
So much rides on Jonah Savaiinaea that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 16 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Restrepo at the 47th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at pick No. 78, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Jennings in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chandler Rivers in pick 151, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
