Some picks age like wine; Garret Greenfield at pick No. 169 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The Ulofoshio pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Kamari Lassiter in the 47th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Nothing to complain about; Renardo Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Garret Greenfield at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in pick 202; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
A tidy little value on Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, C.J. Hanson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Hartman a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They robbed the room for Edefuan Ulofoshio here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
