When the story of this class is written, it opens with Beaux Limmer at pick No. 91, a reach of 35 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milton. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
They took Cooper Beebe at par in slot 41, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Beaux Limmer at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They read the board right and Cedric Gray was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in pick No. 202. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They robbed the room for Kendall Milton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Daijahn Anthony is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Trey Taylor in slot 255 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Jalen Sundell slid further than he should have, and No. 256 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tyrice Knight in the 257th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
