The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tre Harris, the 238th pick, roughly 212 picks past where he belonged.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 69 with a little surplus value in Jalen Royals. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 13, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the 104th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to No. 143, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at slot 217 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Malachi Moore at pick No. 220 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 22, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
