The war room fell hard for Jalen Coker, and it showed at No. 223: 36 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In pick 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 30
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Franklin at slot 47 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
Taking Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 57 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 66
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
They read the board right and Kamren Kinchens was the payoff at pick No. 89. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 138
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Pratt this early at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 161
A big swing on AJ Barner at pick No. 139, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey in the 183rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 259
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Coker in No. 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 226. A need, and now a little less of one.
