The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Hill Jr., No. 74, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Gulbin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Kadyn Proctor · OT · rank 14
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
In the 29th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 47
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in No. 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
Taking Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 74 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 130
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in the 109th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Louis Moore · S · rank 164
The board had cheaper options than Louis Moore at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.15 · Pick 155 · Matt Gulbin · C · rank 181
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matt Gulbin this early at pick 155. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Dae'Quan Wright · TE · rank 179
A conviction pick on Dae'Quan Wright at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Elarms-Orr at slot 176 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 222
They jumped the gun on Zavion Thomas, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
