The war room fell hard for Trevin Wallace, and it showed at pick 58: 176 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It bottoms out at a F.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Hopper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with interior defensive lineman still staring back at them.
Pick-by-Pick
Cooper DeJean at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 1 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at the 54th pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Trevin Wallace at the 58th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They reached a country mile for Jaden Hicks at pick 64, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ray Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Ben Sinnott in Round 3, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to slot 91. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hunter Nourzad in the 111th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They talked themselves into Khristian Boyd at No. 126, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Jordan Travis at par in the 169th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They barely believed it either: Ty'Ron Hopper still on the board at pick 202. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Omar Brown at pick No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
They paid sticker price for Jalen Sundell in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jordan Whittington in No. 252 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Aaron Casey in slot 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
