Some picks age like wine; Keilan Robinson at No. 252 will need to, sitting 58 spots clear of his grade.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
In pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 80. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in slot 100, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A conviction pick on Johnny Wilson at the 115th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
A clean, defensible pick in the 132nd pick with a little surplus value in Ben Sinnott. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 153
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
They paid a round early for Fabien Lovett in No. 173, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
Nice patience on Ryan Flournoy, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 39. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Keilan Robinson · RB · rank 310
Keilan Robinson in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
They paid sticker price for Sam Hartman in the 256th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
