The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: T.J. Sanders, the 249th pick, roughly 206 picks past where he belonged.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the 44th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jalon Walker at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in pick No. 150, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Armand Membou at Round 5, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board fumbled Alfred Collins all the way to slot 174, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Circle this one: Savion Williams at No. 190 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Cam Ward in Round 6, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
