When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tosh Baker at the 159th pick, a reach of 77 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 8
Cam Ward at Round 1, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 27
In No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
Jihaad Campbell at pick 56 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Jermari Harris · CB · rank 90
No drama and no debate, Jermari Harris went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.18 · Pick 119 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 43
They will replay Dylan Sampson at the 119th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.24 · Pick 125 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 107
Luke Kandra at pick No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.22 · Pick 159 · Tosh Baker · OT · rank 236
Tosh Baker at the 159th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.29 · Pick 166 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 138
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 166th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 116
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in slot 199, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Aydan White · CB · rank 263
They talked themselves into Aydan White at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.34 · Pick 250 · Jalen Rivers · OT · rank 320
Jalen Rivers at pick 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
