The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dwight McGlothern, the 233rd pick, roughly 72 picks past where he belonged.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 56, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jaylen Wright slipping to Round 3, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tykee Smith at pick 174 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to No. 233, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Value with a capital V on Tayvion Robinson in the 244th pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
