The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nehemiah Pritchett, the 181st pick, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will need Corum to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 5, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at the 37th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Blake Corum at pick 69 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Gabriel Murphy is a better player than the 105th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Value with a capital V on DeWayne Carter in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A quiet steal in pick No. 140: James Williams for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Steal is underselling it; Trente Jones at Round 7, Pick 5 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Keaton Bills at Round 7, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
