It is the swing that defines the weekend: Davin Vann in the Round 5 slot, a good 99 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot.
Walter Nolen in pick 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Xavier Restrepo at the 76th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at the 170th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Amari Kight at the 173rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Malachi Moore at pick No. 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at slot 248. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
