The war room fell hard for Dwight McGlothern, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 44: 30 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

However the rest shakes out, Beebe at that price is a win they earned. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 38
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 37
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 49
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Calen Bullock at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 88 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
A wild overpay on Ray Davis in slot 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the 108th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at pick No. 109 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
Will Shipley at No. 135 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 201
Omar Speights in pick 179 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 215
They took Darius Muasau at par in the 217th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dwight McGlothern. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 248
Walter Rouse at Round 7, Pick 10 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
