Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Aireontae Ersery at Round 3, Pick 12 is 53 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That Booker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 6
In pick No. 7 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 16
In pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Emery Jones · OT · rank 33
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 36
Omarion Hampton in the 39th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 30
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to the 40th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 34
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at No. 66. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 129
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aireontae Ersery. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.2 · Pick 98 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 88
The board had Oscar Delp higher than No. 98, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.12 · Pick 140 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 146
They paid sticker price for CJ Daniels in the 140th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Jaheim Oatis · DL · rank 235
Jaheim Oatis at slot 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
