This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the 155th overall pick.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Cornelius left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 54
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in pick 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 104
Ajani Cornelius at Round 3, Pick 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.18 · Pick 119 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
Dylan Fairchild in No. 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.17 · Pick 155 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 61
Jay Higgins at pick No. 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
