The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dylan Fairchild, the 255th pick, roughly 189 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
The board fumbled Jack Sawyer all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Circle this one: Travis Hunter at No. 66 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Ashton Jeanty at pick 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Tre Harris at Round 4, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Wyatt Milum in pick No. 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at the 168th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the 255th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
