Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Josh Wallace at pick 140 is 113 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 45
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at Round 2, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 86
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Corum this early at the 47th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter in the 70th overall 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.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 162
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at No. 108, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 253
Value said wait; Josh Wallace in pick No. 140 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 185 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 218
A tidy little value on Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 246
A big swing on LaDarius Henderson at the 225th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
