The war room fell hard for Braelon Allen, and it showed at the 87th pick: 20 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 24 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Braelon Allen at Round 3, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
No drama and no debate, Elijah Jones went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A conviction pick on Cornelius Johnson at the 174th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caedan Wallace in pick 216. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reach for Jordan Whittington in No. 233; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in pick No. 244; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
