Some picks age like wine; Logan Brown at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 89 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Bullock at that price is a win they earned.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.22
· Pick 22
· Terrion Arnold
· CB
· rank 20
In pick 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.18
· Pick 50
· Edgerrin Cooper
· LB
· rank 58
Edgerrin Cooper at the 50th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.27
· Pick 59
· Calen Bullock
· S
· rank 47
Nice patience on Calen Bullock, who had no business lasting to No. 59. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.34
· Pick 97
· Mohamed Kamara
· DL-EDGE
· rank 117
Mohamed Kamara at the 97th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.1
· Pick 137
· Cole Bishop
· S
· rank 129
Cole Bishop slipping to pick No. 137 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
R5.27
· Pick 163
· LaDarius Henderson
· OT
· rank 163
LaDarius Henderson in Round 5, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.36
· Pick 172
· Jared Wiley
· TE
· rank 205
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.3
· Pick 178
· Jawhar Jordan
· RB
· rank 209
Jawhar Jordan in the 178th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.23
· Pick 243
· Logan Brown
· OT
· rank 332
They talked themselves into Logan Brown at pick No. 243, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
