2024 NFL Draft

· 6 steals
· 1 reaches
This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Isaiah Davis, the No. 156 name on the board, stolen at No. 202.
The Reed reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Hicks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Xavier Legette at the 41st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Cooper Beebe slipping to No. 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at slot 88. A minor itch, scratched.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Jaden Hicks with tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in pick No. 94. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Caelen Carson in pick 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Circle this one: James Williams at the 169th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 176th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They took Javontae Jean-Baptiste at par in No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Austin Reed this early at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 35. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
