It is the swing that defines the weekend: Garret Greenfield in No. 172, a good 44 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mustapha. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 22nd pick they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. A need, and now a little less of one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Luke McCaffrey in pick 120 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid a round early for Javion Cohen in No. 161, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 171; a little patience would have been rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garret Greenfield. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 35, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
