You could see the war room lean forward. Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 173 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Every board in the league had Sorrell lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th pick they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 12. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in pick No. 76, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
JJ Pegues at No. 148 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at the 168th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaeden Roberts in slot 170. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They paid a round early for Ty Hamilton in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Jordan Hancock at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A wild overpay on Gentry Williams in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
