This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, stolen at the 231st pick. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In slot 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 2. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
Ladd McConkey in the 37th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick No. 64 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 68
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 4. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Good price on Christian Mahogany in No. 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Gould at slot 137, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha slipping to pick 180 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
They paid up for Jared Wiley at No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick 231 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
