They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Max Bredeson, 147 picks early at the 208th overall pick.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Scott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In the 1st overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
No edge and no loss on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 47th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 59
Value with a capital V on Jake Golday in pick 67, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 61
A slide stopped in No. 78, with Keionte Scott worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Emmett Johnson · RB · rank 104
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmett Johnson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · De'Zhaun Stribling · WR · rank 111
De'Zhaun Stribling at Round 4, Pick 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 139
They took J.C. Davis at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 155
They paid sticker price for Zxavian Harris in the 149th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R5.19 · Pick 159 · Malik Benson · WR · rank 145
Malik Benson is a better player than Round 5, Pick 19 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Max Bredeson · TE · rank 355
A real head-scratcher, Max Bredeson in slot 208 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
