This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keith Randolph Jr., the No. 150 name on the board, stolen at the 176th overall pick. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Lindberg pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In pick No. 14 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 120
Sataoa Laumea at pick 130 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · James Williams · S · rank 130
James Williams at slot 136 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 154
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at the 148th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 157
They paid sticker price for Justin Rogers in the 152nd pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 156
Austin Booker at No. 160 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 159
A tidy little value on LaDarius Henderson in slot 166, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 150
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 176th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 178
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Baker at the 179th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 251
Value said wait; Chad Lindberg in No. 230 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
