The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Restrepo, Round 2, Pick 17, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at the 49th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
