Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Isaiah Jatta at pick 188 is 81 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Golday. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Circle this one: Germie Bernard at the 96th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They robbed the room for Jake Golday here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Will Lee III in No. 146 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaytron Allen. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Jatta in pick No. 188 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
VJ Payne in the 206th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
They barely believed it either: Cole Payton still on the board at pick No. 223. The roster fit checks out.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kelly well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Thaddeus Dixon at the 241st pick is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Kaden Wetjen is a better player than No. 248 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
