This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Steele Chambers, the No. 199 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Lovett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 26
They will replay Brian Thomas Jr. at the 56th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
Jaylen Wright in slot 73 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 75
A tidy bit of business in No. 87, where Sedrick Van Pran graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
M.J. Devonshire slid further than he should have, and pick 205 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
A quiet steal in the 216th overall pick: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 220
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Gabe Hall reach the 244th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
Somehow Steele Chambers was still sitting there in No. 249, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
