This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Connor Lew, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Moore has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Derrick Moore in pick 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Jadarian Price at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A slide stopped in No. 95, with Daylen Everette worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
The board fumbled Kamari Ramsey all the way to slot 106, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Connor Lew in the 109th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A straight-up fair deal on DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 125, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at Round 4, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid a round early for Beau Stephens in the 138th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Isaiah World went about where he belonged in No. 139. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in pick No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eric Rivers in the 167th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Ar'maj Reed-Adams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A big swing on Isaac Smith at slot 256, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
