When the story of this class is written, it opens with Patrick Payton at pick 184, a reach of 63 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Moore value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 4th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They paid sticker price for Anthony Hill Jr. in pick 35, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Value said wait; Ja'Kobi Lane in the 66th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Devin Moore graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Isaiah World at slot 142 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Patrick Payton at the 184th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A quiet steal in slot 194: Jeff Caldwell for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jaren Kanak at pick No. 225 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
