When the story of this class is written, it opens with Darius Robinson at No. 97, a reach of 24 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Milton III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Cooper DeJean is a better player than No. 22 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A slide stopped in the 50th overall pick, with Kamren Kinchens worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 54. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at slot 97. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value said wait; Braelon Allen in the 137th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 27, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They jumped the gun on Javon Baker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Joe Milton III in pick No. 178 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
