This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Wilson, the No. 125 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 2.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In the 4th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 4
Joe Alt in pick 35 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 29
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 36
Fair-plus on Ja'Tavion Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
The board fumbled Ennis Rakestraw Jr. all the way to the 67th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
They barely believed it either: Jordan Morgan still on the board at Round 3, Pick 14. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · DJ James · CB · rank 53
DJ James at slot 100 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
They let Jonah Elliss come to them and pounced at pick No. 104. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 121
Circle this one: Josh Newton at No. 139 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
Kalen King slid further than he should have, and No. 152 is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
