When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kevin Jennings at pick 152, a reach of 92 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Landing Ivey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A real head-scratcher, Aeneas Peebles in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in No. 78, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They will replay Jared Ivey at the 114th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Jennings at pick 152, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
