Thirty-one other rooms let Denzel Burke slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 92. Highway robbery.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
A tidy little value on J.J. McCarthy in the 49th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Steal is underselling it; Denzel Burke at pick 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Value with a capital V on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 117, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Good price on AJ Barner in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Nice patience on Beaux Limmer, who had no business lasting to slot 154. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Duce Chestnut in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Robert Lewis slipping to No. 238 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
