The war room fell hard for DJ Uiagalelei, and it showed at slot 126: 37 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 30 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A big swing on Trevor Etienne at slot 62, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No edge and no loss on Malachi Moore in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
DJ Uiagalelei at No. 126 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Fair-plus on Xavian Sorey Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They paid up for Tommi Hill at pick 212 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reach for Damon Payne Jr. in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
