They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dallas Gant, 76 picks early at slot 245. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Brenden Rice at pick No. 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 127
They took Beaux Limmer at par in the 126th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They paid a round early for Tykee Smith in pick No. 149, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in No. 194. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
Tyler Owens at the 202nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
Dominique Hampton in the 219th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
They reached a country mile for Dallas Gant at Round 7, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
