You could see the war room lean forward. Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 168 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Carter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 25th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens in pick 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 25 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 72
A quiet steal in the 88th pick: Blake Corum for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
They will replay Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · DJ James · CB · rank 114
DJ James is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 143
They barely believed it either: Luke McCaffrey still on the board at pick No. 168. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand at No. 203 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 226
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 41, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 222
Circle this one: Omar Speights at the 243rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 270
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ja'Had Carter in pick 251, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
