When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dallas Gant at Round 7, Pick 35, a reach of 67 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That McCaffrey pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 16
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
Rome Odunze at pick No. 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Max Melton · CB · rank 77
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at the 91st overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 4, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 98
They robbed the room for MarShawn Lloyd here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
They read the board right and Elijah Jones was the payoff at pick 127. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith is a better player than pick No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 171
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 4. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Luke McCaffrey in the 202nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
A slide stopped in slot 247, with Edefuan Ulofoshio worth more than the price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 322
Value said wait; Dallas Gant in No. 255 says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
