When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mykel Williams at the Round 2 slot, a reach of 106 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
However the rest shakes out, Singleton at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at pick No. 40 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Bond went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They talked themselves into Mykel Williams at the 48th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Taking Luther Burden III in No. 51 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at slot 72 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jabbar Muhammad this early at the 85th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at No. 86, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 144, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Monheim. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to the 204th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Ollie Gordon II in slot 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jared Wilson at the 223rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Oscar Delp in the 239th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
