You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 228 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Kolton Miller pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty at No. 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 13
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to slot 69, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 23
Tre Harris at the 77th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the 105th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 35
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 143 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Josaiah Stewart · DE-EDGE · rank 42
Somehow Josaiah Stewart was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 41, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 56
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at Round 7, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 72
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at pick No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 81
Taking Deontae Lawson in slot 248 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
