Future A-

Some picks age like wine; Trey Moore at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 130 spots clear of his grade. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They banked enough surplus on Campbell to cover a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Kenneth Grant leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 26
In the 32nd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Tyler Warren in the 64th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 100 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 94
They will replay Tez Johnson at slot 115 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 251
Trey Moore at pick No. 121 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.30 · Pick 131 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 158
They reached into another round for Jaeden Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 87
Danny Stutsman at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.34 · Pick 135 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.1 · Pick 139 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 102
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at the 139th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.8 · Pick 146 · Howard Cross III · DL · rank 151
No edge and no loss on Howard Cross III in slot 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 105
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 151 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.14 · Pick 152 · Keon Sabb · S · rank 106
Somehow Keon Sabb was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R5.18 · Pick 156 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 144
Value with a capital V on Jaylin Noel in pick No. 156, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.21 · Pick 159 · Addison West · OG · rank 183
Addison West at No. 159 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.23 · Pick 161 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 201
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at Round 5, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.25 · Pick 163 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 194
Theo Wease Jr. in the 163rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
