The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Erick All, Round 7, Pick 5, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
Joe Alt in Round 1, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 23
In slot 27 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 38
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 68
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at the 71st pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at pick 90 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 102
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Pratt at No. 104, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 134
No edge and no loss on Kamal Hadden in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 136
Malik Mustapha at slot 140 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 182
Good price on Ethan Driskell in Round 6, Pick 13, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Erick All · TE · rank 205
A tight end of that caliber at the 225th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 218
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Blake Watson in pick No. 227. It fills a real need, too.
