· 5 reaches
This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, stolen at No. 202.
The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Javon Bullard at pick No. 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than the Round 2 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at Round 3, Pick 25. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Braelon Allen in pick 93 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason McCormick well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Tanor Bortolini in slot 165 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 169th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
You do not let a cornerback like Dwight McGlothern reach the 202nd overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Nice patience on Ryan Flournoy, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 44. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reach for Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 255 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
