You could see the war room lean forward. TreVeyon Henderson at the 104th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 4 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Malaki Starks in slot 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Good price on Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 69, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They took Donovan Jackson at par in Round 3, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Kyren Lacy at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
