Some picks age like wine; Rylie Mills at pick No. 78 will need to, sitting 64 spots clear of his grade.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ewers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Cameron Williams · OT · rank 37
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in the 47th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 142
Rylie Mills in slot 78 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Quinn Ewers · QB · rank 96
Quinn Ewers in pick 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.14 · Pick 153 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 155
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at Round 5, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
