You could see the war room lean forward. Quinshon Judkins at slot 190 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Truss pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 13
In pick No. 18 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Abdul Carter · DE · rank 8
You do not let an edge rusher like Abdul Carter reach pick 44 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 99
A conviction pick on Elic Ayomanor at the 91st pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.18 · Pick 119 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 123
No edge and no loss on Kyren Lacy in No. 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.26 · Pick 127 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 167
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaeden Roberts. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.12 · Pick 150 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 106
Taking Nicholas Singleton in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Jared Ivey · DE · rank 84
Jared Ivey at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 111
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 170th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 136
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at the 171st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 78
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to pick No. 190, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 125
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Xavier Truss · OT · rank 284
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
