You could see the war room lean forward. Jayden Daniels at slot 39 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Steal is underselling it; Jayden Daniels at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for Kool-Aid McKinstry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in No. 70. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Robinson a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Theo Johnson in the 143rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Kitan Oladapo at pick 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
