Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kaelon Black at the Round 5 slot is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Hecht falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In slot 14 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Dani Dennis-Sutton · DE-EDGE · rank 83
Dani Dennis-Sutton in Round 2, Pick 13 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Malachi Fields · WR · rank 73
Good price on Malachi Fields in the 80th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 87
Sam Hecht in the 115th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Rayshaun Benny · DL · rank 156
Rayshaun Benny at pick No. 154 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
A reach on Domani Jackson in No. 162; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 173 · Dae'Quan Wright · TE · rank 181
They jumped the gun on Dae'Quan Wright, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 217
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaelon Black this early at pick 174. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · Diego Pavia · QB · rank 241
Value said wait; Diego Pavia in the 211th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.34 · Pick 250 · Josh Cuevas · TE · rank 245
A clean, defensible pick in the 250th overall pick with a little surplus value in Josh Cuevas. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.37 · Pick 253 · Fa'alili Fa'amoe · OT · rank 246
Nothing to complain about; Fa'alili Fa'amoe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
