The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Marcus Harris, Round 6, Pick 9, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st overall pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A tidy bit of business in No. 75, where Kiran Amegadjie graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nice patience on Will Shipley, who had no business lasting to slot 122. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Trevor Keegan for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Marcus Harris at pick 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kalen DeLoach at Round 7, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
