The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Morgan, No. 58, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 41 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 26, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Good price on Jaden Hicks in pick 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They did well to land Blake Corum in No. 91, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Javon Foster at the 126th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 169. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
