Some picks age like wine; Hayden Hatten at pick 219 will need to, sitting 94 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Getting Speights where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
Dallas Turner in slot 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 40
Byron Murphy II in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kalen King · CB · rank 41
Kalen King slipping to pick No. 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in the 67th overall pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
They read the board right and Christian Mahogany was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
They let Junior Colson come to them and pounced at the 91st pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 124
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
Value with a capital V on Sataoa Laumea in slot 135, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
They will replay Kris Abrams-Draine at the 141st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 211
The board had cheaper options than Sam Hartman at the 203rd pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Kingsley Eguakun · C · rank 222
Kingsley Eguakun at pick 217 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Hayden Hatten · WR · rank 313
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at No. 219, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 208
You do not let a linebacker like Omar Speights reach Round 7, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
