When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kedon Slovis at the 223rd pick, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The Sainristil value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in No. 44, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jaylen Wright at Round 3, Pick 13 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at slot 91. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at pick 112, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No drama and no debate, Grayson Murphy went about where he belonged in No. 178. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Erick All in pick 208. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jaylan Ford in the 219th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Kedon Slovis at pick No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Fair-plus on Jaden Crumedy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
