You could see the war room lean forward. Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 233 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Every board in the league had Lovett lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Tyler Guyton at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jonathon Brooks at Round 2, Pick 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at the 86th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 87 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They let Matt Goncalves come to them and pounced at pick No. 123. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value said wait; Fabien Lovett in No. 149 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
The board fumbled Justin Rogers all the way to pick 216, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jha'Quan Jackson in the 233rd pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Steele Chambers at slot 244 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
