Harvey should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: RJ Harvey, pick 211, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
The cost of the McLaughlin reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tetairoa McMillan and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 12 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 94 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111
Rnd4
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the 114th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 117 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams slid further than he should have, and the 140th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Sai'vion Jones
They did well to land Sai'vion Jones in Round 5, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
RJ Harvey
They will replay RJ Harvey at the 211th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at the 230th overall pick is money in the bank, a specialist taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick239
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They robbed the room for KeAndre Lambert-Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
A safety of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
