They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Barryn Sorrell, 154 picks early at the Round 5 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
Getting Bassa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 44th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick 66 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in No. 80; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They robbed the room for Pat Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in the 172nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in No. 174 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at the 190th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ollie Gordon II at Round 6, Pick 13 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A tidy little value on Jordan Hancock in slot 211, a step better than break-even. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Bryson Eason in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
