They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dallas Gant, 65 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

Getting McGlothern where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In pick 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to the 58th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in slot 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen in pick No. 97 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
They talked themselves into Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 169 is lovely value for the safety. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Taking Dwight McGlothern in the 202nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
No drama and no debate, Bub Means went about where he belonged in slot 245. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 320
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallas Gant well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
