It is the swing that defines the weekend: Maurice Smith in Round 6, Pick 42, a good 80 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 15
A tidy little value on Xavier Legette in pick 19, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
Circle this one: Dallas Turner at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
They read the board right and T.J. Tampa was the payoff at the 51st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 87
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at slot 88 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 120
They took Junior Colson at par in No. 119, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · James Williams · S · rank 129
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Marques Cox · OT · rank 220
They reached a country mile for Marques Cox at Round 6, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 297
Value said wait; Maurice Smith in pick No. 217 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 204
They let Curtis Jacobs come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 289
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rasheen Ali this early at the 240th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
