They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dont'e Thornton Jr., 78 picks early at pick 106. It bottoms out at a F.

Stutsman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 6
In the 6th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.7 · Pick 7 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the 7th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 39
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than pick No. 68 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 65
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Sampson at No. 73. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 184
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 142
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 5, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.7 · Pick 144 · Roc Taylor · WR · rank 194
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at the 144th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 90
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to No. 178, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in pick No. 212, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 131
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick 216 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 195
Luke Lachey in slot 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
