· 14 picks
· 4 steals
· 4 reaches
Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kedon Slovis at the 255th pick is 50 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
Landing Wright that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 41 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Braden Fiske at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in pick No. 59, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at the 88th overall pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Wright at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in No. 126, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 27 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 169th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Jared Wiley at pick 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
By-the-book stuff, Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They liked Tyler Owens enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 245. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
A wild overpay on Kedon Slovis in pick No. 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
