The war room fell hard for Gentry Williams, and it showed at the 190th pick: 84 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simon. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 15 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Smael Mondon Jr. this early at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A safety of that caliber at the 168th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Miles Frazier at slot 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They reached into another round for Gentry Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Thor Griffith at pick 209 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Omari Thomas at the 248th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
