When the story of this class is written, it opens with Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 32 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Put together, it is a D-.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Landing Dotson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 10
No edge and no loss on Shedeur Sanders in No. 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 23
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 64
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 12. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.12 · Pick 113 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 85
Steal is underselling it; Ozzy Trapilo at the 113th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jordan James · RB · rank 119
They will replay Jordan James at slot 150 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Mello Dotson · CB · rank 132
They barely believed it either: Mello Dotson still on the board at pick 172. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 140
Nick Nash in slot 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 220
A conviction pick on Cam Jackson at Round 6, Pick 33 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.13 · Pick 231 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 191
Luke Lachey at pick No. 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.29 · Pick 247 · LaJohntay Wester · WR · rank 229
LaJohntay Wester in the 247th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 281
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
