This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 49 name on the board, stolen at slot 248. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding Jayden Reed by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.12 · Pick 44 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 76 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 21
Walter Nolen at pick 79 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 26
Wyatt Milum in the 148th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 86
Taking Dylan Fairchild in No. 168 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 39
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 40
They will replay T.J. Sanders at Round 6, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 58
Alfred Collins in the 195th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 31
Circle this one: Tre Harris at the 209th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
Xavier Restrepo at slot 248 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
