When the story of this class is written, it opens with Josiah Ezirim at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Rosemy-Jacksaint makes the weekend a net positive. The Kamara pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
A tidy little value on Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A premium they did not need to pay, Maason Smith a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 125 on Mohamed Kamara with cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 166
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at pick 174. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 229
Nathan Thomas in No. 220 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Josiah Ezirim · OL · rank 292
They talked themselves into Josiah Ezirim at pick No. 233, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Anim Dankwah · OT · rank 278
Anim Dankwah at Round 7, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
Tyrice Knight at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
They took Tyler Owens at par in the 252nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
