This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Lathan Ransom, the No. 107 name on the board, stolen at No. 190. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Adonai Mitchell pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In the end it comes back to Travis Hunter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In pick No. 14 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
Tyler Warren at pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 50
Tre Harris at the 116th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 108
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 150th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 109
They will replay Jordan Phillips at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 128
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Gabriel at slot 172 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 180
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 174, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 107
Lathan Ransom in the 190th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 163
You do not let a cornerback like Dorian Strong reach No. 211 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.16 · Pick 234 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 161
They barely believed it either: Chase Lundt still on the board at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Torricelli Simpkins III · OG · rank 249
No drama and no debate, Torricelli Simpkins III went about where he belonged in slot 249. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
