The war room fell hard for Cody Schrader, and it showed at No. 126: 49 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Getting Dixon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that.
Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 41 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Kamren Kinchens at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Christian Mahogany at the 88th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javon Foster in slot 91, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Cody Schrader at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Marist Liufau. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick No. 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach No. 219 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
By-the-book stuff, Bub Means at slot 245 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Hartman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
