This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Zak Zinter, the No. 105 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 26. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hall pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
In No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in pick No. 41. It fills a real need, too.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A quiet steal in the 88th overall pick: Max Melton for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They went early on Cole Bishop in Round 3, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
Steal is underselling it; Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 169 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 221
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the 202nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Fair-plus on Garret Greenfield, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
They liked Kimani Vidal enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 245. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at pick No. 255, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
