The war room fell hard for Drew Allar, and it showed at the 111th overall pick: 46 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and tight end went begging. The Lane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Colton Hood · CB · rank 25
In the 30th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 41
Fair-plus on Caleb Banks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
A slide stopped in No. 62, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 58
Germie Bernard slipping to Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Jacob Rodriguez is a better player than slot 82 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Jalen Farmer · OG · rank 106
Jalen Farmer at the 90th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 125
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Allar well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
Ja'Kobi Lane in the 116th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Bishop Fitzgerald · S · rank 123
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Bishop Fitzgerald in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 147
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaytron Allen in No. 151. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.23 · Pick 163 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 159
Nothing to complain about; Beau Stephens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.15 · Pick 196 · Pat Coogan · C · rank 200
By-the-book stuff, Pat Coogan at the 196th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
