Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dametrious Crownover at the Round 4 slot is 37 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Landing Hall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

R3.6
· Pick 70
· Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
· S
· rank 51
Circle this one: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 70th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.

R5.9
· Pick 149
· CJ Daniels

Good price on CJ Daniels in the 149th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

R7.32

· TJ Hall
· CB
· rank 222
TJ Hall at pick 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
