The war room fell hard for Jared Wiley, and it showed at the 170th overall pick: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In the 14th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul in slot 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 48
Jonah Elliss at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 60
A tidy little value on Jonathon Brooks in No. 67, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
They did well to land Tykee Smith in pick No. 100, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 111, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 157
Sincere Haynesworth in slot 141 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 141
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 147 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
A big swing on Jared Wiley at No. 170, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 6, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Mark Perry · S · rank 244
Mark Perry slipping to the 256th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
