Future A

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamal Hadden, the No. 138 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 6. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging. The Kayvon Thibodeaux pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Joe Alt and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In slot 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and the 36th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Good price on Chop Robinson in pick No. 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in the 67th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil in pick 100 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They liked Braelon Allen enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
Kamal Hadden at the 181st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
