You could see the war room lean forward. KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 256 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
In the 31st overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Marcus Mbow · OT · rank 51
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Mbow at pick No. 63. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 52
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 66 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 86
Value with a capital V on Donovan Jackson in the 95th pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 95
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.38 · Pick 256 · KeAndre Lambert-Smith · WR · rank 193
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 7, Pick 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
