It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zion Logue in pick 203, a good 47 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The whole projection now runs through Michael Penix Jr.; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

They banked enough surplus on Hart to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
In pick 14 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
In the 24th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at No. 56 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 25, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at pick No. 72. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Bucky Irving at No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 84
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cam Hart in pick 174, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
Zion Logue at pick No. 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Emani Bailey · RB · rank 188
They barely believed it either: Emani Bailey still on the board at Round 6, Pick 37. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson in slot 245 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
