You could see the war room lean forward. Bralen Trice at the 88th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Green to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In pick 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
JC Latham in slot 41 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 45
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 57, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Bralen Trice at the 88th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
A quiet steal in No. 91: Junior Colson for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
Nothing to complain about; MarShawn Lloyd went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jalen Green · S · rank 212
They paid a round early for Jalen Green in the 203rd pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
Kenny Logan Jr. at Round 6, Pick 42 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 220
They took Jontrey Hunter at par in the 219th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 252
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Had Carter at No. 246 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
