Uche Nwaneri

Summary: Jacksonville consolidated three 6th-round picks (195th, 198th, 203rd) into one 5th-round pick (149th overall, Uche Nwaneri). Analysis: Nwaneri became a multi-year starting right guard for Jacksonville, a starter-quality return from what was essentially a bundle of late picks. The pick consolidation worked perfectly, netting a position-starter from three roster longshots. A- is fair — this is exactly the kind of roster management move that builds sustainable depth. Atlanta received depth volume (Deon Anderson was later traded to Dallas, Doug Datish and Daren Stone had minimal impact) but gave up the clearly superior player.
