Some picks age like wine; Trevor Etienne at slot 169 will need to, sitting 151 spots clear of his grade. The final tally is a middling C.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Bech value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Hit on Kaleb Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Value said wait; Tez Johnson in the 44th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keon Sabb in the 77th pick, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Ferguson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyreak Sapp well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Trevor Etienne at slot 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Anthony Belton at Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They let Jack Bech come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Shilo Sanders at the 209th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
