The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Ward, the Round 3 slot, roughly 92 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 28 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 97 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
