The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Billy Bowman Jr., No. 167, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They took Tez Johnson at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at the 127th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in No. 167, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Ricky White III in pick 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
