It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 219th overall pick, a good 66 spots before the room expected him.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Wallace steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Cooper Beebe at No. 58 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in pick 88, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Dominick Puni in pick No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jarrian Jones at the 126th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A tidy bit of business in slot 169, where Tykee Smith graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Logan Lee in No. 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 219th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Trevin Wallace is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Kimani Vidal in pick 255 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
