Some picks age like wine; Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 111 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Getting Hurst where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 33
They did well to land Chris Johnson in No. 36, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
Quietly one of the better values of the day, A.J. Haulcy at pick No. 67. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 107
No drama and no debate, Darrell Jackson Jr. went about where he belonged in the 102nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 88
Somehow Ted Hurst was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 151
A conviction pick on Jaeden Roberts at pick 134 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Patrick Payton · DE-EDGE · rank 256
A wild overpay on Patrick Payton in the 175th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 186
No edge and no loss on Keagen Trost in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Josh Cameron · WR · rank 190
Taking Josh Cameron in Round 6, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Marvin Jones Jr. · LB-EDGE · rank 330
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marvin Jones Jr. in pick No. 219, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
