The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Coleman tumbling to the Dolphins in Round 3, Pick 16 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Kamara lower, and that gap is the story.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
R2.23
· Pick 55
· T'Vondre Sweat
· DT
· rank 48
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 55. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.1
· Pick 65
· Sedrick Van Pran
· C
· rank 77
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.16
· Pick 80
· Keon Coleman
· WR
· rank 36
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 80th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.2
· Pick 102
· Zak Zinter
· OG
· rank 104
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.16
· Pick 116
· Mohamed Kamara
· DL-EDGE
· rank 130
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at No. 116, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.11
· Pick 186
· Jarrian Jones
· CB
· rank 149
Jarrian Jones at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.24
· Pick 199
· Jaylan Ford
· LB
· rank 196
Jaylan Ford in pick 199 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
R6.25
· Pick 200
· Gabe Hall
· DL
· rank 214
They went early on Gabe Hall in slot 200, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.19
· Pick 239
· Tyler Owens
· S
· rank 228
A tidy bit of business in the 239th overall pick, where Tyler Owens graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
