The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Walter Nolen, pick No. 44, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in pick No. 44, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Isaiah Bond in the 76th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
