The war room fell hard for Jha'Quan Jackson, and it showed at the Round 5 slot: 71 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In pick No. 5 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 33
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton in slot 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
A real head-scratcher, Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A reach for Cooper Beebe in pick 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 117
Mohamed Kamara in the 100th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in the 141st overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 213
Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at pick No. 181, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
