They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Demani Richardson, 29 picks early at pick 217.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 25
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at pick No. 41. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock in slot 57 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in the 88th overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than the Round 3 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
They paid up for Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 25 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Jaylen Wright at No. 135 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in the 203rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 246
Demani Richardson at the 217th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
Xavier Thomas at pick 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
