This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Domonique Orange, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at No. 107. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If Rucci pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 19
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
They read the board right and Chris Brazzell II was the payoff at the 39th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 31
They robbed the room for Denzel Boston here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Keith Abney II · CB · rank 44
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keith Abney II in the 70th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 73
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in slot 107, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · Jakobe Thomas · S · rank 141
They did well to land Jakobe Thomas in pick 146, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Eli Raridon · TE · rank 137
Eli Raridon is a better player than No. 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.23 · Pick 204 · Bryce Boettcher · LB · rank 175
Taking Bryce Boettcher in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · Anez Cooper · OG · rank 183
Anez Cooper in the 206th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 262
Nolan Rucci in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 231
TJ Hall slipping to pick No. 248 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
