When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 107 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Burnip where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 36
A tidy bit of business in No. 53, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 114
Joshua Farmer in pick 98 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 103
A slide stopped in slot 114, with Mason Taylor worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 77
Barrett Carter in pick No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 85
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.12 · Pick 149 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 95
Cam Skattebo in the 149th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
R5.17 · Pick 154 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 141
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 180
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 189. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 331
Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · James Burnip · P · rank 164
They will replay James Burnip at slot 231 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Joey Slackman · DL · rank 286
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joey Slackman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.36 · Pick 252 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 200
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to No. 252, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
