Some picks age like wine; Sam Hartman at pick 243 will need to, sitting 40 spots clear of his grade.

On value alone, Barrett makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
In pick No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 48
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Max Melton · CB · rank 63
They took Max Melton at par in slot 59, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in the 88th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the 95th pick, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sataoa Laumea at pick 127. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at the 168th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 190
A quiet steal in pick 204: Kendall Milton for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 235
Andrew Raym at the 211th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Keaton Bills · OG · rank 233
Keaton Bills at No. 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 283
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 218
Michael Barrett in pick No. 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 243
A tidy bit of business in slot 251, where Daijahn Anthony graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
