They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Cameron Ball, 148 picks early at No. 173.
Royer at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 14 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Fair-plus on Emmanuel Pregnon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Skyler Bell at slot 80 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A clean, defensible pick in the 115th pick with a little surplus value in Austin Barber. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board fumbled Joe Royer all the way to No. 154, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Ephesians Prysock at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They talked themselves into Cameron Ball at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaytron Allen in the 174th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Owen Heinecke this early at the 211th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A wild overpay on Behren Morton in pick 250, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Isaac Smith at No. 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
