This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle McCord, the No. 125 name on the board, stolen at slot 195. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 14
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at slot 14 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
Omarion Hampton in pick 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
They will replay Tre Harris at No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 112
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 91
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the 150th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 114
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 170 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 110
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 172nd overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Xavier Scott · CB · rank 167
Xavier Scott at Round 5, Pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 181
Joshua Gray is a better player than No. 190 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.17 · Pick 195 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 125
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in the 195th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 213
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hayden Conner. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Akili Arnold · S · rank 210
The board fumbled Akili Arnold all the way to the 249th pick, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
