The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Moose Muhammad III, the Round 6 slot, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
If Rome Odunze and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 39th pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Josh Newton in slot 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Christian Mahogany at No. 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at pick 111, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They liked Antwaun Powell-Ryland enough to skip the value, taking him in the 135th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Circle this one: Ty'Ron Hopper at the 189th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They will replay Moose Muhammad III at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Duce Chestnut at Round 6, Pick 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marques Cox at the 232nd pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
