This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sebastian Castro, the No. 90 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 147. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Majors proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 22 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 56th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Jake Majors at the 78th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Taking Sebastian Castro in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
A running back of that caliber at slot 198 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
They will replay Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
