Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tanor Bortolini at pick 184 is 33 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. The James pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In slot 9 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
A tidy little value on Amarius Mims in pick No. 27, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 36th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 41
Chris Braswell at the 38th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 43
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
Javon Bullard at No. 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ James at Round 4, Pick 1 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 116
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 98
Nice patience on Malik Washington, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 135
They did well to land Jaylin Simpson in slot 138, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 200
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in No. 181 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in the 184th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 237
Trey Knox at pick 220 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
