This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 187 name on the board, stolen at pick 216. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If Owens pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at No. 56. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Max Melton slipping to the 87th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Cody Schrader went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in slot 216, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They let Jordan Magee come to them and pounced at the 233rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They liked Tyler Owens enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 24. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
