You could see the war room lean forward. Garrett Nussmeier at No. 194 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The Prather reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 3
Travis Hunter at the 34th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 10
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 35 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 31
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 17
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at Round 3, Pick 2. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 27
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach slot 91 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 75
Steal is underselling it; Oscar Delp at pick 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 89
Sonny Styles at the 94th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.24 · Pick 120 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 22
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to No. 120, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.27 · Pick 123 · Ashton Gillotte · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Circle this one: Ashton Gillotte at pick 123 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Kaden Prather · WR · rank 223
Kaden Prather at Round 5, Pick 2 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Garrett Nussmeier · QB · rank 65
They robbed the room for Garrett Nussmeier here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
