You could see the war room lean forward. Dontay Corleone at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Lane lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 20
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 53rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
They reached a country mile for Ja'Kobi Lane at pick 76, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 60
Keionte Scott in No. 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Dontay Corleone · DT · rank 67
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 99 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 133
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 121. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 139
They took J.C. Davis at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 156
Drew Allar at the 161st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 238
They reached into another round for Jaydn Ott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Kendrick Law · WR · rank 193
You do not let a wide receiver like Kendrick Law reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Desmond Reid · RB · rank 248
Desmond Reid at slot 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Barion Brown · WR · rank 255
Value said wait; Barion Brown in No. 237 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
