Some picks age like wine; Sam Hartman at pick 243 will need to, sitting 40 spots clear of his grade.
On value alone, Barrett makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They took Max Melton at par in slot 59, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in the 88th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the 95th pick, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sataoa Laumea at pick 127. It fills a real need, too.
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at the 168th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A quiet steal in pick 204: Kendall Milton for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Andrew Raym at the 211th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Keaton Bills at No. 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Michael Barrett in pick No. 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
A tidy bit of business in slot 251, where Daijahn Anthony graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
