The war room fell hard for Cedric Gray, and it showed at the 91st pick: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Davis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In the 25th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 60
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in pick 57. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Hicks well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray at Round 3, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Jarrian Jones at No. 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in pick No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 183
Taking Isaiah Davis in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
Daequan Hardy at pick 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nothing to complain about; Nathaniel Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
Dwight McGlothern in the 251st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
