You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at slot 249 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will need Hayes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
Nick Emmanwori at No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 66
A tidy bit of business in slot 76, where Quinshon Judkins graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 124
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in the 150th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 129
Circle this one: Cody Simon at pick 170 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 128
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 172, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.19 · Pick 197 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 171
Taking Quincy Riley in the 197th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 175
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at Round 6, Pick 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.17 · Pick 235 · Dayon Hayes · DE-EDGE · rank 296
Dayon Hayes at pick No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 164
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 249th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
