You build a draft on nights like this. Jacob Parrish had no business being available in the 191st overall pick, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The cost of the Martin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R1.21 · Pick 21 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 21
In No. 21 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
Nick Emmanwori slipping to slot 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 48
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in the 50th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 69
Tate Ratledge at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 76
Darien Porter in pick No. 73 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 16 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Danny Stutsman in pick 107 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.5 · Pick 144 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 111
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach the 144th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.4 · Pick 182 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
Nice patience on Dont'e Thornton Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 182. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.13 · Pick 191 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 125
The board fumbled Jacob Parrish all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.36 · Pick 214 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 186
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at the 214th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.40 · Pick 218 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 265
Nick Martin in pick 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
