You could see the war room lean forward. Ro Torrence at the 220th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Lee lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
A clean, defensible pick in the 22nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Quinyon Mitchell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
They let Tyler Nubin come to them and pounced at the 50th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in pick 53. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen at No. 121 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 162
Jared Wiley in slot 163 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 164
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
They paid sticker price for Jha'Quan Jackson in pick No. 181, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs at pick 203 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
By-the-book stuff, Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 180
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at No. 220. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Evan Williams · S · rank 215
Evan Williams is a better player than the 225th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Matt Lee · C · rank 275
They talked themselves into Matt Lee at slot 248, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
