The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Connor Lew, No. 122, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Henry To'oTo'o pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Nice patience on D'Angelo Ponds, who had no business lasting to pick No. 59. A minor itch, scratched.
Somehow Jake Golday was still sitting there in the 79th overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach No. 122 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Kendrick Law in the 215th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A tidy little value on Miles Kitselman in pick 231, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
