Future B-

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kitan Oladapo, the No. 154 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 180. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter at No. 50 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Kiran Amegadjie at the 68th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
Jonah Elliss at pick 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 118
Blake Fisher at pick No. 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 150
A premium they did not need to pay, Dallin Holker a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 173
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at slot 180 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Good price on Tanor Bortolini in pick 193, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 197
A slide stopped in the 210th pick, with Curtis Jacobs worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 254
Miyan Williams in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
