The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., pick 144, roughly 102 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Wedig left real value on the table behind him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
They paid sticker price for Travis Hunter in the 3rd pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 36
Jack Sawyer at pick No. 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 47
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to the 72nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
Dylan Fairchild at No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 15
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at slot 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 42
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Trey Wedig · OT · rank 283
Trey Wedig in Round 7, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Julian Fleming · WR · rank 263
Julian Fleming at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.22 · Pick 236 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 173
Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.42 · Pick 256 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 236
A safety of that caliber at the 256th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
