Future B-

You could see the war room lean forward. Deontae Lawson at pick No. 218 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Capehart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In slot 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 10
Malaki Starks at the 41st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 14
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick 72 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 62
Nice patience on Colston Loveland, who had no business lasting to the 76th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 18
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.7 · Pick 145 · Jahdae Barron · S · rank 28
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.8 · Pick 146 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 17
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.9 · Pick 147 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 219
Terrance Ferguson at No. 147 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 40
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in slot 149, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.12 · Pick 150 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 50
Sonny Styles in pick No. 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Ashton Gillotte · DL-EDGE · rank 80
You do not let an edge rusher like Ashton Gillotte reach Round 5, Pick 13 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.15 · Pick 153 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 6
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cam Ward in No. 153, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.16 · Pick 154 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 131
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to the 154th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.2 · Pick 216 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 360
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at pick 216, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 51
They will replay Deontae Lawson at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.14 · Pick 228 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 143
Bryce Foster at the 228th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
