The war room fell hard for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and it showed at pick 67: 91 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The Henderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Mason Graham · DT · rank 7
In the 7th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty slipping to No. 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R1.17 · Pick 17 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In pick 17 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 18
Malaki Starks in the 36th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 62
Alfred Collins in slot 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jordan Burch · DE-EDGE · rank 114
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
Danny Stutsman at Round 3, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Antwaun Powell-Ryland · DL-EDGE · rank 158
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Cade Klubnik · QB · rank 140
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cade Klubnik this early at the 83rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Earnest Greene III · OT · rank 154
A wild overpay on Earnest Greene III in the 87th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 85
Barrett Carter at pick No. 92 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 121
Daylen Everette in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 103
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 16, where Nicholas Singleton graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 72
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at pick 122. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.1 · Pick 139 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 61
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
