Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Singleton: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Nicholas Singleton tumbling to the Patriots in pick 238 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Reaching for Rivers left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The veteran additions, Tyler Guyton chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In the end it comes back to Tetairoa McMillan, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in slot 17 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in pick No. 38, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 44th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 49th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in No. 77 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 117 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
A slide stopped in No. 148, with Carson Schwesinger worth more than the price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick191
Rnd6
Nick Nash
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Nash well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jalen Rivers
They talked themselves into Jalen Rivers at pick 217, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in slot 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nicholas Singleton
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 238 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
