You could see the war room lean forward. Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 23
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Gabe Jacas · LB-EDGE · rank 54
They paid sticker price for Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Julian Neal · CB · rank 119
Julian Neal at No. 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Logan Jones · C · rank 97
They will replay Logan Jones at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.17 · Pick 157 · Skyler Gill-Howard · DT · rank 152
Fair-plus on Skyler Gill-Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.41 · Pick 181 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 185
Zane Durant in slot 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
