This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keon Coleman, the No. 43 name on the board, stolen at No. 100. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In slot 5 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
Malik Nabers at pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
Steal is underselling it; Jayden Daniels at the 37th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 40th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 20
Circle this one: Nate Wiggins at Round 3, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at pick No. 69. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
Kamari Lassiter at No. 78 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 131
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sataoa Laumea at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
Steele Chambers in the 222nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
