It is the swing that defines the weekend: Charles Turner III in No. 210, a good 51 spots before the room expected him.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lassiter. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 22nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 3, Pick 29. It fills a real need, too.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 97 with a little surplus value in MarShawn Lloyd. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 113 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Mason McCormick at pick No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on AJ Barner at No. 161, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Anthony Gould in the 171st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A quiet steal in slot 172: Isaiah Davis for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A wild overpay on Charles Turner III in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in pick 214, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
