Some picks age like wine; Michael Wiley at Round 7, Pick 24 will need to, sitting 55 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Cowing at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 31
In No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 47
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in the 56th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 147
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to pick No. 174, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
Walter Rouse slid further than he should have, and the 176th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 169
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Evan Williams · S · rank 214
Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevin Wallace. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Michael Wiley · RB · rank 299
They reached into another round for Michael Wiley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 271
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the 251st overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
