Future B-

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Daijun Edwards, the No. 205 name on the board, stolen at slot 243.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 25
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at pick No. 41, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
Nice patience on Kris Jenkins, who had no business lasting to the 58th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at No. 88. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson at slot 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 127
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in Round 4, Pick 27, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 153
Malik Mustapha in the 168th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 205
Somehow Daijun Edwards was still sitting there in the 243rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 232
Sheridan Jones in No. 251 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
