Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Maxwell Hairston at slot 37 is 36 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A wild overpay on Maxwell Hairston in No. 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
