Future B-

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dominic Zvada at the 210th pick, a reach of 91 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Landing Hurst that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 18
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 60
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at pick 74 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 87
Ted Hurst in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 139
A tidy bit of business in No. 148, where J.C. Davis graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Ar'maj Reed-Adams · OG · rank 171
No edge and no loss on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 169th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 188
Taylen Green in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 301
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominic Zvada in pick 210, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
