The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Hancock, the Round 7 slot, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Jerry Tillery by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Bottom line, with Emeka Egbuka leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick 89, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Charles Grant reach the 127th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
They robbed the room for Jackson Slater here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to the 243rd pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
