Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the 211th overall pick will need to, sitting 117 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moore. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 12th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
Tre Harris in Round 2, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Alfred Collins in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 89
Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 99
Taking Charles Grant in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 95
Malachi Moore at the 152nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 243
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.38 · Pick 177 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 143
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Reed in pick 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
Barryn Sorrell in the 211th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.2 · Pick 220 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 203
Jack Kiser is a better player than the 220th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 349
KJ Jefferson at slot 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
