The rest of the league will want that one back. Dwight McGlothern tumbling to the Patriots in Round 7, Pick 2 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the 8th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In the 27th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 48
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 79
A reach on Jaylen Wright in No. 68; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. The roster fit checks out.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 133
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 136 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 141
Marcus Harris in pick 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 169
Sione Vaki in the 182nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 237
Trey Knox at No. 229 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
