Some picks age like wine; Trey Taylor at pick 169 will need to, sitting 98 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Oladapo pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a potential shutdown corner, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In the 26th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in the 60th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 177
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in No. 88, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 134 on Kitan Oladapo with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
A big swing on Trey Taylor at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Sundell in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
They paid up for Eric Watts at the 219th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Aaron Casey · LB · rank 288
Aaron Casey at No. 245 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Decamerion Richardson · CB · rank 318
They left a pile of value on the table to take Decamerion Richardson this early at pick No. 255. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
