The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalel Mullings tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 231 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
They will need Davis to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
The Daniel Faalele pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 27 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at No. 98. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach pick No. 127 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at Round 4, Pick 32 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malachi Moore at safety with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Jake Majors at the 149th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They will replay Kyren Lacy at Round 5, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A big swing on J.C. Davis at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Kalel Mullings at the 231st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Jake Briningstool at slot 252 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
