This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Javon Baker, the No. 76 name on the board, stolen at the 152nd pick.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.10 · Pick 10 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In slot 10 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
Michael Penix Jr. at pick 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
Taking Tyler Nubin in the 70th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 41
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 51
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in Round 4, Pick 6, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 58
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach the 114th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
Value with a capital V on Matt Goncalves in slot 122, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 76
Javon Baker in pick No. 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 118
They barely believed it either: Hunter Nourzad still on the board at No. 166. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 155
Isaiah Davis in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 160
Jordan Magee at Round 6, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
They let Nathaniel Watson come to them and pounced at pick 218. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 168
Somehow Myles Harden was still sitting there in the 222nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 197
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to No. 250, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
