You could see the war room lean forward. Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Amarius Mims in Round 1, Pick 30, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
The board had cheaper options than Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 55, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Patrick Paul at pick 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 158th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They barely believed it either: Luke McCaffrey still on the board at the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Jase McClellan at pick No. 198 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 241st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
