You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Magee at pick 243 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Troy Fautanu is a better player than Round 2, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at pick No. 91, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 127, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jaylen Wright at slot 168 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A quiet steal in pick No. 216: Tyrone Tracy Jr. for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Magee at the 243rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Tip Reiman at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
