The war room fell hard for Amari Gainer, and it showed at the 172nd pick: 130 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. King falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kalen King · CB · rank 41
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kalen King at the 56th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in the 86th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 90
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 116
Ainias Smith at pick No. 121 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Zakhari Franklin · WR · rank 229
They reached into another round for Zakhari Franklin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Amari Gainer · LB-EDGE · rank 302
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Amari Gainer. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Stefon Thompson · OLB-EDGE · rank 238
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Stefon Thompson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
A premium they did not need to pay, Daequan Hardy a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Khari Coleman · OLB-EDGE · rank 311
Khari Coleman in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
