The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ro Torrence, pick No. 216, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Eboigbe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
Graham Barton at pick 32 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 24. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in slot 87, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Brenden Rice at No. 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 133
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 128 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
A reach on Tommy Eichenberg in the 132nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
Justin Eboigbe in the 134th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 188
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 179
Ro Torrence at Round 6, Pick 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
JD Bertrand at the 233rd pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at slot 244, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
