The war room fell hard for Kalil Alexander, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 58 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 15th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
A reach for Derrick Moore in No. 46; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Eli Stowers at the 77th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taurean York. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Nadame Tucker in Round 5, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Cyrus Allen at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Kalil Alexander at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
