Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kyle Ford at the 113th overall pick is 247 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 16 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dillon Gabriel this early at Round 2, Pick 15. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Kyle Ford at the 113th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached a country mile for Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 151, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
