The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Flournoy, the 252nd pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Jefferson lower, and that gap is the story.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Lynn Polk went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They took Max Melton at par in pick 77, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalyx Hunt this early at slot 132. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Dylan Laube in pick No. 173 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Ryan Flournoy at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
