The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bhayshul Tuten, the Round 7 slot, roughly 84 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The cost of the Nwankpa reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 19 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
The board fumbled Zy Alexander all the way to the 86th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Kandra in slot 122. The roster fit checks out.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Nwankpa. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the 239th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
