The war room fell hard for Joshua Cephus, and it showed at No. 220: 53 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while cornerback went begging. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
A reach on Kingsley Suamataia in the 40th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
A reach for Roman Wilson in the 67th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Bucky Irving in pick 77 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
A tidy bit of business in No. 80, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 102
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at the 103rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 113
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in pick 113, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
A curious use of the 116th pick. Cornerback needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at pick No. 138, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 204
AJ Barner in Round 6, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 273
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Cephus in slot 220, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
