When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Logue at No. 244, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
Christian Haynes at No. 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 93
They took Malik Washington at par in Round 3, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · S · rank 124
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
A reach on Kalen King in the 130th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the 134th pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Myles Murphy · DL · rank 225
They paid sticker price for Myles Murphy in the 218th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
Tyrice Knight in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Owens in the 233rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
