The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Danny Stutsman, pick No. 168, roughly 78 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Reaching for Stackhouse left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 69
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach pick No. 90 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
Jake Majors at the 115th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 95
A safety of that caliber at the 148th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 196
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 90
Danny Stutsman at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
Jared Wilson in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 110
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · James Burnip · P · rank 168
Taking James Burnip in Round 6, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 164
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 232
Jake Briningstool is a better player than No. 248 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
