It is the swing that defines the weekend: Will Howard in slot 78, a good 60 spots before the room expected him. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick-by-Pick
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cameron Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Benjamin Morrison at pick No. 47 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A wild overpay on Will Howard in the 78th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Rylie Mills at slot 113 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
They talked themselves into Ricky White III at the 151st overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
