When the story of this class is written, it opens with Rondell Bothroyd at slot 245, a reach of 38 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 65
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 112
They went early on Gabriel Murphy in the 95th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Shemar Turner · DL-EDGE · rank 137
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Shemar Turner at edge rusher with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 146
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Johnson adds an edge rusher and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 131
They did well to land Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 4, Pick 34, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Bru McCoy · WR · rank 187
A reach for Bru McCoy in No. 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 219
Steele Chambers at slot 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Evan Williams · S · rank 246
They took Evan Williams at par in No. 239, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Rondell Bothroyd · DL-EDGE · rank 283
Rondell Bothroyd in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 277
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Derek Wingo · LB · rank 261
Derek Wingo in the 255th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
