Some picks age like wine; Demond Claiborne at No. 121 will need to, sitting 41 spots clear of his grade. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That Corleone pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Hit on Caleb Tiernan and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick-by-Pick
They paid sticker price for Caleb Tiernan in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Dontay Corleone at pick 76 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Keylan Rutledge at Round 3, Pick 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They did well to land Davison Igbinosun in the 120th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A real head-scratcher, Demond Claiborne in No. 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They reached a country mile for Nate Boerkircher at the 135th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Domani Jackson in pick No. 160 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 201st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A reach for Bryce Foster in pick 236; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Mahlman well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
