This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Roman Wilson, the No. 83 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 1. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Murphy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 32
The board fumbled Ennis Rakestraw Jr. all the way to the 54th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
Circle this one: Jonathon Brooks at slot 97 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 83
Steal is underselling it; Roman Wilson at the 137th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Cam Hart at pick No. 172 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 125
Johnny Dixon in Round 5, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
A slide stopped in pick 178, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 176
Nathan Thomas at slot 179 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Emani Bailey · RB · rank 188
A running back of that caliber at pick 230 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Caleb Murphy · C · rank 294
Caleb Murphy in pick No. 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 236
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Phil Jurkovec in the 254th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
