The war room fell hard for Dwight McGlothern, and it showed at the 217th overall pick: 40 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Corley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 42 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at the 88th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A slide stopped in the 91st pick, with Malachi Corley worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Darius Robinson in pick 108 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
MarShawn Lloyd in No. 125 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in slot 135. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 203 with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. The roster fit checks out.
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board had Kenny Logan Jr. higher than the 219th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
A premium they did not need to pay, Tatum Bethune a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
