The war room fell hard for Donovan Edwards, and it showed at the Round 3 slot: 80 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Sturdivant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
Adding Maxx Crosby by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Donovan Edwards at pick No. 69 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A quiet steal in slot 105: Max Melton for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
They took Jack Nelson at par in No. 142, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Steal is underselling it; J. Michael Sturdivant at the 183rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
