You could see the war room lean forward. Phil Jurkovec at pick 245 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 28
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 55
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in slot 56, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 57
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 32. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 76
Value with a capital V on Payton Wilson in pick 87, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Jahdae Barron · S · rank 117
Jahdae Barron at No. 124 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 173
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 215
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in pick No. 212, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 225
The board fumbled Phil Jurkovec all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
