You could see the war room lean forward. Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 230 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Dorlus pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 11th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Dorlus at slot 42, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at the 108th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A quiet steal in No. 130: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Good price on Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They let Keith Randolph Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 160. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than pick 165 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Davis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Steal is underselling it; Kenny Logan Jr. at the 230th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
