The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Jones, pick 222, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Driskell lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
Adonai Mitchell at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 68
No drama and no debate, Spencer Rattler went about where he belonged in No. 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 65
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Renardo Green · S · rank 112
Renardo Green at the 104th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
Brenden Rice in slot 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 136
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 186
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at pick 182 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Taking Elijah Jones in pick No. 222 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 249
Ethan Driskell in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 250
They paid up for Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 241 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
