You could see the war room lean forward. Andru Phillips at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Circle this one: Kamren Kinchens at the 54th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Graham Barton at slot 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Jalen McMillan in Round 3, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
McKinnley Jackson in the 91st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at pick No. 96, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jamari Thrash at No. 97 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Nice patience on Sataoa Laumea, who had no business lasting to No. 135. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Steal is underselling it; Andru Phillips at pick No. 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Value with a capital V on JD Bertrand in the 211th overall pick, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in pick 217. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Christian Jones at the 219th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
BJ Mayes at Round 7, Pick 23 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Zion Logue in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
