Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Keilan Robinson at slot 255 is 54 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A reach on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th pick; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Max Melton at No. 59 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They liked Jarrian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 202 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
They paid a round early for Trevin Wallace in No. 219, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
A real head-scratcher, Kimani Vidal in slot 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Jalen Sundell in Round 7, Pick 25, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Keilan Robinson in the 255th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
