It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaac Guerendo in the 229th overall pick, a good 46 spots before the room expected him.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Getting Ulofoshio where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Bobby Okereke gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid up for Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in the 68th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Max Melton in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
A conviction pick on Renardo Green at pick No. 136 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at No. 182, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They barely believed it either: Edefuan Ulofoshio still on the board at the 187th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at slot 229. The roster fit checks out.
