When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaheim Bell at pick No. 67, a reach of 73 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Landing Sainristil that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
Jayden Daniels in the 4th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 21
A clean, defensible pick in slot 27 with a little surplus value in Amarius Mims. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 28
They did well to land Troy Fautanu in pick 35, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at No. 36, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
Payton Wilson at the 51st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaheim Bell in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 69
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 83, where Ruke Orhorhoro graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil at the 100th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
A reach for Beau Brade in No. 102; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 116
They paid a round early for Ainias Smith in Round 4, Pick 4, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 154
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 141, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 159
By-the-book stuff, Austin Booker at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 181
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Jefferson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
Xavier Thomas at slot 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
