You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylen Harrell at the 217th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hicks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots.

The cost of the Wright reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 37
A conviction pick on Kamren Kinchens at pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent slot 91 on Jaden Hicks, a safety they were not short of.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 154
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in No. 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 204
They took Myles Jones at par in the 203rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 194
Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 209
They let Jase McClellan come to them and pounced at pick 219. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 248
Walter Rouse in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
