The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Gunnar Helm, Round 4, Pick 21, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged.

The Rourke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach the 44th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Shavon Revel Jr. · CB · rank 28
Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 55 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Josh Conerly Jr. · OT · rank 45
Josh Conerly Jr. in slot 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 61
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 66
Jalen Royals at No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Andrew Mukuba in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 104
By-the-book stuff, Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.11 · Pick 112 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 100
Tory Horton slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 11 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.12 · Pick 113 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 137
Kurtis Rourke at pick 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Cam Skattebo at the 118th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 70
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at No. 122 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
