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

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 15
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 43
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.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
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.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
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.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
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.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
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.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
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.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 170
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.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 297
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.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 250
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.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 287
Value said wait; Jalen Sundell in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 313
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.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Cal Haladay · LB · rank 337
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.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jack Westover · TE · rank 321
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.
