Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Javon Solomon at the 69th overall pick is 39 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Landing Simpson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
A tidy little value on Joe Alt in No. 6, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 23
Bo Nix at slot 35 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 25
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Troy Franklin for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 45
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in pick No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at No. 67 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 69 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 150
Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 5 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 151
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 204
Somehow Miyan Williams was still sitting there in slot 223, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
