Future B

The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the Cowboys in Round 7, Pick 31 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
Travis Hunter slipping to Round 1, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 55
They will replay Tyleik Williams at No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 43
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at the 115th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 147
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hayden Conner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 112
Somehow Savion Williams was still sitting there in the 168th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 87
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 88
Sebastian Castro at pick 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 231
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at slot 186, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 174
They read the board right and Joshua Gray was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 93
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 103
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
