Some picks age like wine; Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 69 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 56
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 55, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 45
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 115
A real head-scratcher, Sataoa Laumea in the 93rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 113, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 141
Ainias Smith in pick 130 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 185
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 162
Xavier Thomas at No. 165 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 225
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at slot 184, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
A tidy little value on Trente Jones in the 198th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 287
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at pick 218. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 219
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach the 241st pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 235
They read the board right and Michael Barrett was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 30. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
