You could see the war room lean forward. Khristian Boyd at slot 202 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The cost of the Gray reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
In No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in the 58th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 3, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 114
They reached into another round for Cedric Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
The board had cheaper options than Jarrian Jones at pick 126, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at slot 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
You do not let an edge rusher like Khristian Boyd reach pick No. 202 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 44. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell at No. 245 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
A tidy bit of business in the 255th overall pick, where Bub Means graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
