Future B-

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyler Guyton, the No. 40 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 25. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The McGlothern reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Mustapha pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In the 25th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamren Kinchens in slot 52, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at the 57th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Guyton at No. 88 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 91 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
Circle this one: Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Malik Mustapha in pick 135 leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in No. 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 172
Brandon Coleman is a better player than the 181st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 187
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 28 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 239
Joshua Cephus at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 234
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 246, where Trevor Keegan graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
