This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kalel Mullings, the No. 103 name on the board, stolen at No. 188. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Andrew Mukuba in pick 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jake Majors in No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 125 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 5, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A running back of that caliber at the 188th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
