This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Josh Proctor, the No. 202 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick-by-Pick
A slide stopped in pick No. 37, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kamari Lassiter at pick 50 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Taking Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Blake Corum in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
They robbed the room for Caelen Carson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
No edge and no loss on James Williams in slot 137; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
McCallan Castles slipping to No. 172 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Luke McCaffrey in the 178th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at No. 188 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Theo Wease Jr. in slot 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They barely believed it either: Josh Proctor still on the board at Round 7, Pick 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
