Future B-

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Caedan Wallace, the No. 213 name on the board, stolen at slot 245. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Wallace pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
Amarius Mims in the 43rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 26. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 70
They barely believed it either: Devontez Walker still on the board at pick 91. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
They read the board right and Brenden Rice was the payoff at pick No. 109. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Value with a capital V on Cedric Gray in the 123rd overall pick, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at slot 150. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
They robbed the room for Mason McCormick here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 164
The board had Walter Rouse higher than slot 175, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 200
Steele Chambers at the 202nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
Trevin Wallace at the 219th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
Somehow Caedan Wallace was still sitting there in pick 245, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 245
Josh Proctor slid further than he should have, and No. 255 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
