Some picks age like wine; Evan Williams at slot 241 will need to, sitting 41 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Clark value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
Dallas Turner slid further than he should have, and the 23rd overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Fautanu at slot 37. The roster fit checks out.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 69
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 69 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 74
Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
A big swing on Drake Nugent at the 120th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Beau Brade worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
Malik Washington at No. 133 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamal Hadden in the 142nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 151
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Simpson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 193
They paid up for AJ Barner at slot 183 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
De'Corian Clark in the 226th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Evan Williams · S · rank 282
Evan Williams at Round 7, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
