They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Taylor, 95 picks early at the 202nd pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rosengarten.
Hit on Cooper DeJean and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Cooper Beebe at pick 58 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cole Bishop this early at Round 3, Pick 25. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A wild overpay on Elijah Jones in slot 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 29, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Dillon Johnson in the 169th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
A real head-scratcher, Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Value said wait; Jalen Sundell in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Steele well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Cal Haladay in No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Jack Westover at slot 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
