The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Aireontae Ersery, pick No. 108, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 18
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
Emeka Egbuka at the 45th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at pick 68. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 43
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to the 80th pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 46
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aireontae Ersery reach Round 4, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.15 · Pick 117 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 75
Somehow Darien Porter was still sitting there in No. 117, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 131
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Brashard Smith for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 118
Circle this one: Jacob Parrish at slot 180 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 180
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 213th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 189
Clay Webb in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Isaac TeSlaa · WR · rank 236
Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 222 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
