The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Johnny Dixon, the 255th overall pick, roughly 64 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the 88th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Calen Bullock at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 120
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 171
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 180
Somehow Ro Torrence was still sitting there in No. 219, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 217
Garret Greenfield at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 191
A cornerback of that caliber at the 255th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
