The war room fell hard for Hayden Hatten, and it showed at slot 247: 66 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Spending an early pick on safety with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
In pick 32 they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 47
They did well to land Calen Bullock in No. 52, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 59
Josh Newton at pick No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
A curious use of slot 88. Tight end needed the pick; a safety in Jaden Hicks did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in the 91st pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 126
Isaiah Adams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
A reach for Will Shipley in No. 125; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at the 126th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 159
Austin Booker at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at the 203rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 234
Trevor Keegan at Round 6, Pick 42 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 245
They reached a country mile for Maurice Smith at pick No. 219, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 239
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nothing to complain about; Nathaniel Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Hayden Hatten · WR · rank 313
Hayden Hatten in No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
