Some picks age like wine; Gentry Williams at the 225th overall pick will need to, sitting 75 spots clear of his grade.
They banked enough surplus on Kiser to cover a lot of smaller sins. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at Round 2, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than the 89th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They will replay Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 98 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason Taylor. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Taking Danny Stutsman in No. 116 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in pick 150, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Jordan Burch in Round 5, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Will Howard in the 190th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They talked themselves into Gentry Williams at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
A quiet steal in the 233rd pick: DJ Campbell for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for Xavier Nwankpa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Jack Kiser in slot 251 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
