The war room fell hard for Maurice Smith, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 44: 78 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
By-the-book stuff, JC Latham at the 11th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Quinn Ewers · QB · rank 41
No edge and no loss on Quinn Ewers in the 39th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 37
Nate Wiggins in slot 43 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 109
They reached a country mile for Tory Horton at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Howard Cross III · DL · rank 116
Howard Cross III in No. 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Beau Brade · S · rank 114
They robbed the room for Beau Brade here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 174
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick 189 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Aki Ogunbiyi · OG · rank 215
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 217th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 297
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maurice Smith in slot 219, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 260
Sam Hartman at the 232nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
