When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tanner Mordecai at the 246th overall pick, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 14
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at slot 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 33
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 9, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 71
Byron Murphy II at the 57th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 86
They took Christian Mahogany at par in pick 88, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 89
Marist Liufau at pick No. 93 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 126
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Shemar Turner · DL-EDGE · rank 137
Shemar Turner in slot 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 153
A slide stopped in the 167th overall pick, with Moose Muhammad III worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
Jawhar Jordan in the 203rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Zakhari Franklin · WR · rank 214
Good price on Zakhari Franklin in No. 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 235
Miles Frazier in pick 219 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tanner Mordecai · QB · rank 305
A real head-scratcher, Tanner Mordecai in Round 7, Pick 26 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 237
Cody Schrader is a better player than pick No. 251 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
