Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Ben Sinnott at pick 67 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 2nd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Patrick Paul at slot 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They jumped the gun on T.J. Tampa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Ben Sinnott at No. 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Brenden Rice at pick No. 78 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in Round 3, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A reach for Jalyx Hunt in No. 139; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Brandon Coleman in the 152nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Myles Harden at pick 222 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
