Future B-

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Beaux Limmer at the Round 3 slot is 49 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Morgan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In slot 30 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
A tidy little value on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 41st overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
They robbed the room for Jordan Morgan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Javon Bullard at No. 73 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
A slide stopped in the 88th pick, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 140
Beaux Limmer in pick 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 25: Cole Bishop adds a safety while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 154
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in pick 135 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 193
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Magee at pick No. 203. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 190
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at the 217th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Donell Harris Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 255
They reached a country mile for Donell Harris Jr. at slot 219, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Jermayne Lole · DL-EDGE · rank 294
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jermayne Lole in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 230
Circle this one: Joshua Cephus at the 251st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
