Some picks age like wine; Luke McCaffrey at slot 84 will need to, sitting 65 spots clear of his grade. It bottoms out at a F.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
In pick No. 2 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In pick 4 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
They reached into another round for Xavier Worthy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Luke McCaffrey at the 84th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
