You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Slaughter at slot 90 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Ioane left real value on the table behind him.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In pick No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Avieon Terrell · CB · rank 17
Avieon Terrell is a better player than the 30th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
They did well to land Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 2, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Jacob Rodriguez slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Jake Slaughter at pick 90 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
Elijah Sarratt slipping to slot 94 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
Taking Ja'Kobi Lane in the 130th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 132
They robbed the room for Oscar Delp here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Jadon Canady · CB · rank 214
Jadon Canady at the 227th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 238
A straight-up fair deal on Jaydn Ott at slot 238, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
