Some picks age like wine; Mason Reiger at the Round 2 slot will need to, sitting 90 spots clear of his grade.
The Cooper Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They reached into another round for Mason Reiger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 2, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Daylen Everette in slot 89 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
