You could see the war room lean forward. Roman Wilson at the 100th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Logue proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Good price on Graham Barton in the 36th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Kamren Kinchens in slot 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Bralen Trice in pick No. 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board fumbled Roman Wilson all the way to the 100th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in No. 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Ben Sinnott at the 141st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than Round 5, Pick 6, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
