Some picks age like wine; Layden Robinson at the 235th pick will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Hart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Justin Fields pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 14th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the 78th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 5, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach No. 192 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They reached into another round for Layden Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
