The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: TJ Hall, pick 243, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Gill-Howard left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 33rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Max Iheanachor · OT · rank 46
A reach on Max Iheanachor in the 38th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 48
A quiet steal in pick No. 59: Lee Hunter for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 5 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 109
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Deion Burks · WR · rank 87
You do not let a wide receiver like Deion Burks reach pick 109 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Skyler Gill-Howard · DT · rank 150
They paid up for Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 140 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 131
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Oscar Delp at No. 141 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Febechi Nwaiwu · OG · rank 173
A tidy little value on Febechi Nwaiwu in the 179th pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.27 · Pick 243 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 216
The board fumbled TJ Hall all the way to pick No. 243, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
