Some picks age like wine; Isaac Rex at the 239th pick will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Brade at that price is a win they earned. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In No. 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in the 85th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 91
Good price on Spencer Rattler in the 97th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 130 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
They robbed the room for Beau Brade here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 161
They paid up for Justin Rogers at the 148th pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
A straight-up fair deal on Chau Smith-Wade at the 160th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 180
They liked Javon Baker enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 166. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 173
Fair-plus on Delmar Glaze, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 231
They paid sticker price for Steele Chambers in pick No. 230, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Isaac Rex · TE · rank 292
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Rex. The roster fit checks out.
