When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaylen Harrell at slot 183, a reach of 23 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Nabers. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A straight-up fair deal on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 37, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A wild overpay on Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 5, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They reached a country mile for Javon Foster at the 106th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Braelon Allen at pick 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 223rd pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
By-the-book stuff, Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
