The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Steele Chambers, the 245th pick, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged.
The cost of the Anderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy little value on Terrion Arnold in the 25th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. It adds depth where they could use a little.
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than pick No. 58, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Dominick Puni in No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They reached a country mile for Trevor Keegan at the 126th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Grayson Murphy at pick 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Johnny Dixon at slot 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 219 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They will replay Steele Chambers at pick No. 245 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Evan Anderson at pick 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
