Some picks age like wine; Tahj Washington at Round 6, Pick 42 will need to, sitting 145 spots clear of his grade.
Landing Trotter Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 26 they get a matchup problem out wide, reach and all.
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at the 41st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in pick No. 57. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Javon Solomon at No. 89 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Ray Davis in Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They read the board right and DJ James was the payoff at the 125th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 135. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Christian Jones at pick 161 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Shirden well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A big swing on Charles Turner III at Round 6, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Tahj Washington at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at pick No. 219, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kedon Slovis in the 220th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Ja'Had Carter in the 246th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
