They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dwight McGlothern, 64 picks early at No. 216. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Lassiter to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
The board had Kamari Lassiter higher than No. 41, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 61
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at pick No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 87
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKinnley Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
They liked Jaden Hicks enough to skip the value, taking him in the 91st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 169
A straight-up fair deal on LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Michael Wiley · RB · rank 198
Good price on Michael Wiley in pick No. 203, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 238
Darius Muasau at No. 210 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 280
Dwight McGlothern in slot 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Evan Williams · S · rank 306
Evan Williams in the 243rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 278
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in the 251st overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
