Some picks age like wine; Javon Foster at Round 3, Pick 32 will need to, sitting 26 spots clear of his grade.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermaine Burton at pick 64 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in the 158th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Isaiah Davis slid further than he should have, and slot 172 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
