Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Louis Moore at the 144th pick is 20 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 4th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A quiet steal in No. 66: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Bryce Lance is a better player than pick 101 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
By-the-book stuff, Kaytron Allen at pick No. 142 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A wild overpay on Louis Moore in slot 144, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick 184 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They took Pat Coogan at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 225, where Keyshaun Elliott graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
