You could see the war room lean forward. Junior Colson at slot 125 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Carlies has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
You do not let a wide receiver like Marvin Harrison Jr. reach the Round 1 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
They barely believed it either: Quinyon Mitchell still on the board at pick No. 57. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
Somehow Tyler Nubin was still sitting there in No. 62, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Steal is underselling it; Graham Barton at the 88th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at slot 91 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
They will replay Junior Colson at Round 4, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 117
Mohamed Kamara in pick 130 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
A quiet steal in the 135th pick: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Kingsley Eguakun · C · rank 222
Kingsley Eguakun in the 217th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Aaron Frost · OT · rank 249
Aaron Frost in pick No. 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 284
Jaylon Carlies at slot 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
Darius Muasau in pick 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
