When the story of this class is written, it opens with Isaac Rex at slot 188, a reach of 104 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman went begging. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

That Logan Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul in pick No. 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 69
Brenden Rice in No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
Junior Colson in the 68th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 84
Fair-plus on Josh Newton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with interior defensive lineman open.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
Dylan Laube at the 139th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Wright a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Isaac Rex · TE · rank 292
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Rex. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
Kenny Logan Jr. slid further than he should have, and No. 224 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Donell Harris Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 264
A real head-scratcher, Donell Harris Jr. in the 225th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Aaron Lewis · DL-EDGE · rank 298
Aaron Lewis in slot 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
