Future B-

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky Pearsall, No. 234, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Barrett has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 46
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 60. It fills a real need, too.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 95
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick No. 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 93
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 97th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 104
A slide stopped in pick 117, with Cam Hart worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 124
Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · James Williams · S · rank 129
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in slot 126. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 136
Nice patience on Cade Stover, who had no business lasting to the 148th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 144
Payton Wilson in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Antwaun Powell-Ryland · DL-EDGE · rank 146
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 5, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 187
Michael Barrett in pick No. 172 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 200
Ricky Pearsall in No. 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.18 · Pick 238 · Marques Cox · OT · rank 219
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Marques Cox in the 238th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
