Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Erick All at No. 95 is 34 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Newton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
In the 6th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 52
Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 69
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 82
Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Erick All · TE · rank 129
Erick All at pick No. 95 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson is a better player than pick 107 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 150
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in the 136th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 171
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dylan Laube. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 153
Josh Newton at Round 5, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 198
A conviction pick on Nathan Thomas at pick No. 183 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 208
They took Layden Robinson at par in slot 202, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 227
A reach for Julian Pearl in the 219th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 235
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 253
They paid a round early for Sam Hartman in pick 245, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jackson Sirmon · LB · rank 255
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Sirmon at the 255th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
