Some picks age like wine; Isaiah Neyor at the 171st overall pick will need to, sitting 62 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mitchell. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 15
Nate Wiggins at Round 1, Pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than pick 51, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 70
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 83. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter in slot 88 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · James Williams · S · rank 135
A wild overpay on James Williams in slot 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 115
Nelson Ceaser at pick 124 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in the 130th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 147
The board had cheaper options than Dallin Holker at No. 132, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
Tommy Eichenberg slipping to pick No. 139 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 187
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in the 160th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at Round 5, Pick 34. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 233
Isaiah Neyor at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
