The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Oronde Gadsden II, the 213th pick, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher and interior defensive lineman went begging.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 13
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 33 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than pick No. 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
A slide stopped in No. 67, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
A clean, defensible pick in the 68th pick with a little surplus value in Quinshon Judkins. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 82
Donovan Jackson in pick 69 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 86
Andrew Mukuba in the 77th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 87
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Danny Stutsman in pick No. 80 leaves edge rusher and interior defensive lineman for later.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Jalen Milroe in pick 94, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 105 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 76
The board fumbled Isaiah Bond all the way to the 105th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 112
Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 118
Terrance Ferguson at No. 143 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 173
Nothing to complain about; Dont'e Thornton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 181
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 213th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
