They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Evan Anderson, 79 picks early at No. 216.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They took Javon Bullard at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A big swing on Jarrian Jones at Round 3, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in pick No. 91, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They will replay MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A slide stopped in the 168th overall pick, with Mason McCormick worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanner McLachlan a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Kimani Vidal in Round 7, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omar Brown. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
