You could see the war room lean forward. De'Corian Clark at the 230th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them. They are betting DeJean proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 25
In the 23rd overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Cooper DeJean · DB · rank 55
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Cooper DeJean, a defensive back that was not the priority.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 50
Cooper Beebe at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 43
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in the 43rd pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 73
Chris Braswell in pick No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 71
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at pick 73 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 93
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 78
Value with a capital V on Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 24, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 109
Tyleik Williams at pick No. 109 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 137
A curious use of No. 135. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 179
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the 187th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 234
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Steele a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 215
Fair-plus on Jasheen Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 172
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
