The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamal Hadden, the 202nd overall pick, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 51 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 58
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in the 58th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Renardo Green · S · rank 78
Good price on Renardo Green in the 84th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni in slot 88 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 120
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
A reasonable price with a little left over, Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and pick 219 is lovely value for the linebacker. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
They let Trevin Wallace come to them and pounced at slot 245. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 248
Jordan Whittington at the 255th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
