The war room fell hard for Kaden Prather, and it showed at pick 136: 89 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Getting Weigman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Nic Scourton · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 31
They did well to land Kenneth Grant in No. 34, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 33
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 56th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 128
Tyler Warren at the 98th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.29 · Pick 125 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 119
Fair-plus on Aireontae Ersery, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 134
DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.3 · Pick 131 · Jonah Coleman · RB · rank 125
Jonah Coleman at pick No. 131 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.4 · Pick 132 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 129
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
R5.5 · Pick 133 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 133
They paid sticker price for Nick Emmanwori in the 133rd overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.6 · Pick 134 · Conner Weigman · QB · rank 86
Somehow Conner Weigman was still sitting there in slot 134, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.7 · Pick 135 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 169
A real head-scratcher, Jayden Higgins in No. 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.8 · Pick 136 · Kaden Prather · WR · rank 225
Kaden Prather in Round 5, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.8 · Pick 168 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 249
CJ Daniels at the 168th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
