Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Mason Fairchild at Round 7, Pick 25 is 95 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson in No. 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick 126, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 168
They took Kamal Hadden at par in the 169th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in slot 202. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 271
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in pick No. 219, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Mason Fairchild · TE · rank 340
Mason Fairchild at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Charles Turner III · C · rank 298
They reached into another round for Charles Turner III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
