It is the swing that defines the weekend: Quinn Carroll in the 168th pick, a good 79 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, Harris at that price is a win they earned. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 17th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter.
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 49th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Deone Walker at pick No. 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nice patience on Carson Schwesinger, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Carroll in slot 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Ja'Corey Brooks at No. 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A reach for Karene Reid in the 171st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Garrett Dellinger at the 187th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 34, with Jonas Sanker worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Henderson in pick No. 247, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
