The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, No. 241, roughly 74 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
Nice patience on Walter Nolen, who had no business lasting to the 25th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in the 58th pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Circle this one: Deone Walker at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick 126. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Ollie Gordon II in No. 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
