When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dallas Gant at slot 255, a reach of 62 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 49
Kris Jenkins at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 67
A reach on Max Melton in pick 58; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 102
A reach for Ben Sinnott in slot 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 105 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 109
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 131
Malik Mustapha in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 188
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 205
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 202 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 230
Trey Taylor at No. 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 250
They reached into another round for Trente Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 292
Donovan Jennings at pick 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 317
They talked themselves into Dallas Gant at the 255th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
