This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malachi Corley, the No. 76 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The Jake Browning pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In pick 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
A quiet steal in slot 56: Patrick Paul for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 48
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Burton still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 76
Malachi Corley at the 125th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 151
Javion Cohen in pick No. 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 176
Andru Phillips in No. 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 192
Ethan Driskell at Round 6, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 186
They will replay Javon Baker at the 214th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.40 · Pick 215 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 200
A slide stopped in slot 215, with Kimani Vidal worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
The board fumbled JD Bertrand all the way to the 237th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 209
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Williams reach the 242nd overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 255
They paid sticker price for Phil Jurkovec in pick No. 249, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
