Some picks age like wine; Jonah Monheim at pick No. 112 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Ersery value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.13 · Pick 45 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 44
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 50
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ollie Gordon II in No. 53. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 93
A reach on Danny Stutsman in the 76th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
They liked Kevin Winston Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.11 · Pick 112 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 159
A real head-scratcher, Jonah Monheim in pick No. 112 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.17 · Pick 155 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 132
Somehow Aireontae Ersery was still sitting there in slot 155, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · David Bailey · LB-EDGE · rank 160
David Bailey is a better player than No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 191
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. The roster fit checks out.
R6.17 · Pick 192 · Xzavier Henderson · WR · rank 176
A quiet steal in the 192nd pick: Xzavier Henderson for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 181
They let Azareye'h Thomas come to them and pounced at slot 194. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Damien Martinez · RB · rank 225
They went early on Damien Martinez in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
