This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Roger Rosengarten, the No. 175 name on the board, stolen at slot 217.

They will need Gentry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Junior Colson at linebacker with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the 94th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
Ray Davis at slot 98 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
You do not let an offensive lineman like Blake Fisher reach the 125th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
A curious use of No. 131. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 161
A big swing on Justin Rogers at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Jawhar Jordan in slot 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 175
Somehow Roger Rosengarten was still sitting there in pick 217, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 251
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at Round 6, Pick 44. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Thomas at pick No. 246, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
