2024 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 3 steals
· 4 reaches
This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyrone Tracy Jr., the No. 126 name on the board, stolen at the 219th pick.
The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Oladapo pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick-by-Pick
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in slot 41. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 58, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kitan Oladapo in the 126th pick leaves edge rusher, cornerback and other spots for later.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Williams this early at No. 169. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Somehow Trevor Keegan was still sitting there in the 202nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 6, Pick 44 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Monk in the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Jalen Sundell at slot 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
