2024 NFL Draft

· 1 steals
· 4 reaches
Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Isaac Rex at the Round 7 slot is 77 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The Greenfield pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser 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
In slot 28 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
A tidy little value on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 54, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Bralen Trice at pick 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at the 66th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Dominick Puni at the 82nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Trey Benson at No. 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Newton. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Elijah Jones in the 118th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 202 with a little surplus value in Jase McClellan. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Andrew Raym at the 219th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Rex. A need, and now a little less of one.
They barely believed it either: Garret Greenfield still on the board at the 255th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
