The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lee Hunter, pick No. 255, roughly 207 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Kayden McDonald at Round 2, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Mansoor Delane at the 84th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Sonny Styles in No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in pick No. 121, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Colton Hood in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Taking Jermod McCoy in slot 161 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jordyn Tyson at the 201st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Steal is underselling it; Akheem Mesidor at pick 236 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Lee Hunter reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
