Some picks age like wine; Christian Jones at slot 158 will need to, sitting 52 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while wide receiver, tight end and other spots went begging. On value alone, Paul makes the weekend a net positive.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Patrick Paul is a better player than No. 64 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Eboigbe in slot 133. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 36 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
