It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in Round 5, Pick 31, a good 224 spots before the room expected him.
The Ransom pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach the 44th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 76, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A big swing on Luke Lachey at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Lathan Ransom at slot 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in No. 190, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in pick 211, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
