Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kenny Logan Jr. at slot 226 is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 22nd pick they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
You do not let a wide receiver like Brian Thomas Jr. reach No. 50 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Dominick Puni in pick No. 120 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Mason McCormick at the 161st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Taking Johnny Wilson in pick 171 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They jumped the gun on Kendall Milton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 210th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kenny Logan Jr. in the 226th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
