The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylin Simpson, No. 216, roughly 58 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Gray has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at the 56th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Cedric Gray at slot 87 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rasheen Ali in No. 174, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Circle this one: Jaylan Ford at Round 7, Pick 13 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 244th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
