When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at No. 209, a reach of 124 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Stutsman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Derrick Harmon · DT · rank 32
A tidy bit of business in slot 44, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 75
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 162
Jaeden Roberts in the 148th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 85
Danny Stutsman at pick 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson · OT · rank 255
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 170th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 121
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Brandon Adams · CB · rank 220
Brandon Adams in No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 333
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 215
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to Round 7, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
