It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zion Logue in the Round 6 slot, a good 38 spots before the room expected him.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A reach on Zak Zinter in slot 87; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Roger Rosengarten at No. 139 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 151st pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at Round 5, Pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Value said wait; Zion Logue in No. 212 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They talked themselves into Donell Harris Jr. at pick 245, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
