Future B-

Some picks age like wine; Ty Hamilton at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Belton to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 17
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 14
They will replay Luther Burden III at No. 37 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in the 39th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 42
They took Benjamin Morrison at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 43
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to the 58th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
Nothing to complain about; Quinshon Judkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 75
Darien Porter in pick 79 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 61
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at the 90th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 103
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 108 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 110
Anthony Belton at the 143rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 155
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to No. 180, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 251
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at slot 213, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Isaac TeSlaa · WR · rank 236
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 39, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 213
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
