Future B

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylin Simpson, pick 202, roughly 65 picks past where he belonged.

Gant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Hicks in slot 58 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
A curious use of the 88th pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jeremiah Trotter Jr. did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Renardo Green · S · rank 77
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Renardo Green while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
They paid up for Beaux Limmer at the 115th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
They paid a round early for Isaac Guerendo in No. 119, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 26: Tykee Smith adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 133
Christian Jones in pick 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 137
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at slot 202 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
A reach for Dominique Hampton in pick No. 219; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
They paid sticker price for Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 25, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 320
Dallas Gant at the 255th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
