The war room fell hard for Jaden Hicks, and it showed at pick 58: 27 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

With wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Milton III at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They paid a round early for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Hicks well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots untouched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 118
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Fisher this early at No. 91. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 147
A real head-scratcher, Mason McCormick in pick No. 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 179
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at pick 169 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 208
Myles Harden at No. 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
Joe Milton III at the 219th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 252
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 241
A quiet steal in slot 255: Tarheeb Still for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
