Some picks age like wine; Isaac Guerendo at the 216th pick will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On value alone, Green makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Bralen Trice at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Graham Barton in slot 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in No. 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Good price on Jarrian Jones in the 127th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 168, a step better than break-even. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 29, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in the 216th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Value with a capital V on Jalen Green in No. 243, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Zakhari Franklin in pick No. 251 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
