The war room fell hard for CJ Daniels, and it showed at pick No. 130: 45 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Scourton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 6
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Nic Scourton · DE-EDGE · rank 15
Steal is underselling it; Nic Scourton at pick No. 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 67
They took Quincy Riley at par in the 66th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 175
CJ Daniels in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.2 · Pick 194 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 209
Dylan Fairchild in the 194th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
