This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Dixon, the No. 181 name on the board, stolen at the 201st pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 63
Max Melton at pick No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 83
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 88, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
They took Bucky Irving at par in pick 91, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 125th pick on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 181
They will replay Johnny Dixon at Round 6, Pick 26 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in the 219th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 228
Tyler Owens is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 244
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 35 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
