The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Luke McCaffrey, No. 171, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
Nate Wiggins at slot 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Nubin at the 50th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 53 with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. A minor itch, scratched.
Audric Estime at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nice patience on Dallin Holker, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
Luke McCaffrey in the 171st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at pick No. 210 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
