Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tylan Grable at the Round 7 slot is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wright.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Wright in the 88th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Roger Rosengarten at No. 127 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No edge and no loss on Jalyx Hunt in the 168th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Jaylan Ford at No. 204 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
They reached into another round for Tylan Grable, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
