The war room fell hard for Ahmari Harvey, and it showed at the 141st overall pick: 149 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Lew pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
In the 12th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In the 24th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 39, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Malachi Fields · WR · rank 72
They paid sticker price for Malachi Fields in slot 70, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 112
Ted Hurst in Round 4, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Connor Lew · C · rank 61
Connor Lew in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Ahmari Harvey · CB · rank 290
Ahmari Harvey in Round 5, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 153
No edge and no loss on Drew Allar in pick No. 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 184
They talked themselves into Jeff Caldwell at pick 149, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · Eric McAlister · WR · rank 190
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric McAlister at No. 206. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Brett Norfleet · TE · rank 273
A big swing on Brett Norfleet at the 248th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
