The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jeffrey Bassa, No. 227, roughly 97 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cost of the Jefferson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 18
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 44th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Donovan Smith · QB · rank 246
A big swing on Donovan Smith at slot 170, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 84
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at No. 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 109
A safety of that caliber at the 190th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.9 · Pick 227 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 130
Jeffrey Bassa at Round 7, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.12 · Pick 230 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 142
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 230 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 348
KJ Jefferson in Round 7, Pick 31 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
