The war room fell hard for Carson Steele, and it showed at pick 244: 69 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Mims falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In pick 13 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
In the 24th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
Amarius Mims at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 56
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 68
A straight-up fair deal on Spencer Rattler at pick No. 67, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 84
Khyree Jackson in No. 77 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson at the 87th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at slot 173, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 290
Zion Logue in the 233rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 313
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Steele well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
