When the story of this class is written, it opens with CJ West at pick 172, a reach of 45 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Wease Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 21
In pick No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 66
Taking Xavier Restrepo in pick 85 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 143
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 144
Circle this one: Kurtis Rourke at the 170th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · CJ West · DT · rank 217
CJ West in slot 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 213
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in pick 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 170
RJ Harvey at the 190th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 244
DJ Campbell at pick No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 221
Theo Wease Jr. in Round 7, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
