The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Johnny Dixon, No. 248, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 64 with a little surplus value in T.J. Tampa. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Tyler Davis in slot 133 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Luke McCaffrey graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
By-the-book stuff, Jaheim Bell at No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Kimani Vidal slipping to pick 221 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Johnny Dixon in Round 7, Pick 28 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
