The war room fell hard for Cedric Gray, and it showed at Round 3, Pick 28: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Bertrand makes the weekend a net positive.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A wild overpay on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 25th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Bucky Irving in Round 3, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray in pick No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in No. 135, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at the 203rd overall pick is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
They went early on Daequan Hardy in Round 6, Pick 42, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
J.J. Weaver in the 219th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Evan Williams · S · rank 282
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
