This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Elijah Jones, the No. 139 name on the board, stolen at slot 180.

Reaching for Gargiulo left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.17 · Pick 49 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 39
Payton Wilson slid further than he should have, and No. 49 is lovely value for the linebacker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at the 56th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 69
Blake Fisher in slot 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 84
Good price on Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 86
Devontez Walker at the 103rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 133
They paid a round early for Bucky Irving in pick No. 123, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Jarrian Jones in pick 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 155
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 139
Elijah Jones in the 180th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 177
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ty'Ron Hopper at the 193rd pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 203
They let Blake Watson come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Nick Gargiulo · C · rank 265
Nick Gargiulo in pick No. 233 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 224
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 244 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
