It is the swing that defines the weekend: Phil Jurkovec in slot 149, a good 134 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

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

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 24
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.19 · Pick 19 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 18
No edge and no loss on Bo Nix in the 19th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 74
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 48 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 60
They paid up for Cooper DeJean at No. 51 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at pick 54. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 104
Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 179
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Schrader in No. 83, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 111
They reached into another round for Audric Estime, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 201
Dallin Holker in the 112th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 283
They reached a country mile for Phil Jurkovec at pick 149, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Connor Colby · OT · rank 157
They took Connor Colby at par in pick No. 159, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
