It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in Round 5, Pick 31, a good 224 spots before the room expected him.

The Ransom pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach the 44th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 76, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 186
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 394
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 198
A big swing on Luke Lachey at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 109
Lathan Ransom at slot 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 175
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in No. 190, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 256
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in pick 211, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins · DL-EDGE · rank 428
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
