The war room fell hard for Behren Morton, and it showed at the 230th overall pick: 86 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 11
In pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 48
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Lee Hunter for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 59
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at No. 85. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 60
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 90
Bryce Lance in the 121st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 158
They left a pile of value on the table to take Beau Stephens this early at pick No. 135. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 180
A big swing on Keagen Trost at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Keyshaun Elliott · LB · rank 217
Keyshaun Elliott at No. 224 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Behren Morton · QB · rank 316
Behren Morton at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Nick Barrett · DL · rank 254
Nick Barrett at the 237th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
