The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalel Mullings, No. 212, roughly 98 picks past where he belonged.
If Dolac pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 19 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
JT Tuimoloau in the 47th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Aeneas Peebles in No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
No edge and no loss on Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Joshua Farmer at slot 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Elijah Arroyo in pick 137, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Darius Alexander in the 153rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
A tidy little value on Cobee Bryant in the 187th pick, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Kalel Mullings in pick No. 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A big swing on Kevin Jennings at pick 236, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Shaun Dolac at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
