You could see the war room lean forward. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 7, Pick 11 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They will need Duke to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in pick 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Trey Benson in the 87th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A clean, defensible pick in the 213th pick with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 7, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They reached a country mile for Khalid Duke at pick No. 242, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
