It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylon Hutchings in pick 242, a good 124 spots before the room expected him.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dixon. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
You do not let a linebacker like Edgerrin Cooper reach pick No. 63 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in slot 87. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Value said wait; Johnny Wilson in Round 3, Pick 31 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Mohamed Kamara at pick 105 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the 173rd pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominique Hampton in slot 231, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Jaylon Hutchings at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
