When the story of this class is written, it opens with Davin Vann at pick No. 169, a reach of 95 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The final tally is a middling C.
Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 32 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Good price on Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A big swing on Kyle McCord at pick 100, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Cobee Bryant at Round 4, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They barely believed it either: Jordan Phillips still on the board at slot 162. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nice patience on Logan Brown, who had no business lasting to No. 166. A need, and now a little less of one.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in the Round 5 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
