The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Hill Jr., the 81st overall pick, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They are betting Llewellyn proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Circle this one: Anthony Hill Jr. at the 81st pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Steal is underselling it; A.J. Haulcy at pick No. 88 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Treydan Stukes in pick 100 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A real head-scratcher, Max Llewellyn in Round 4, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
No drama and no debate, Demond Claiborne went about where he belonged in slot 164. A need, and now a little less of one.
Isaiah World in the 166th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They did well to land Pat Coogan in No. 203, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Keyshaun Elliott is a better player than Round 7, Pick 17 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and John Michael Gyllenborg at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, John Michael Gyllenborg at pick 245. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
