The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Barrett Carter, pick No. 129, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Ratledge pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Tate Ratledge in slot 64 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They did well to land Ozzy Trapilo in pick 96, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in pick No. 129, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They liked Dorian Strong enough to skip the value, taking him in the 166th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They robbed the room for Pat Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
