The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, the 204th overall pick, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Henderson lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
Tetairoa McMillan at No. 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
A premium they did not need to pay, TreVeyon Henderson a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 86
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 76, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 175
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 171st pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 129
Cody Simon at slot 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 128
A quarterback of that caliber at the 204th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 158
They robbed the room for RJ Harvey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · KeAndre Lambert-Smith · WR · rank 185
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 239
Ty Hamilton slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 31 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
