Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Braelon Allen at pick No. 125 is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: running back settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
They took Chris Braswell at par in slot 56, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
A reach for DeWayne Carter in the 91st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
