You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylin Simpson at the 184th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Harrell lower, and that gap is the story. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with wide receiver, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 22
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bo Nix at Round 2, Pick 2. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in the 38th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at the 100th overall pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
A want over a need in pick 102: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while wide receiver, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 201
A wild overpay on Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 151
Taking Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 184 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
A quiet steal in pick 223: Myles Jones for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
