The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Hart tumbling to the Vikings in No. 149 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Asante pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Quinn Ewers in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 112 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Walley. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cam Hart in the 149th overall pick, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Value with a capital V on Shemar Turner in the 165th pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 179, where Jason Marshall Jr. graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Eugene Asante at pick 233 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
