The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Khyree Jackson, slot 148, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Burch lower, and that gap is the story. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in pick 57. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Fair-plus on Nazir Stackhouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A tidy little value on Jalen McMillan in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They will replay Khyree Jackson at No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Laube in pick No. 155. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at the 167th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tre Harris in the 171st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jordan Burch at the 175th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
