The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jarrian Jones, pick 216, roughly 67 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
They read the board right and Byron Murphy II was the payoff at the Round 1 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Good price on Jordan Morgan in pick No. 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Adonai Mitchell at the 58th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A premium they did not need to pay, Audric Estime a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A wild overpay on Renardo Green in pick 93, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Christian Jones in the 127th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Jaylan Ford in No. 204 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at the 216th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value with a capital V on Andrew Raym in the 243rd pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at pick No. 251, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
