When the story of this class is written, it opens with Barryn Sorrell at pick 211, a reach of 117 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 12
Jahdae Barron in pick No. 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 45
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 44 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 98
They reached a country mile for Savion Williams at the 76th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 187
JJ Pegues in the 150th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jaishawn Barham · LB · rank 237
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaishawn Barham. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 230
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
A reach on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 174; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 203
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in slot 190, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in pick 211, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Jaydon Blue · RB · rank 330
Jaydon Blue at the 249th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
