It is the swing that defines the weekend: Cody Schrader in No. 123, a good 38 spots before the room expected him.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 33
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at Round 1, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 89 with a little surplus value in Marist Liufau. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 85
They did well to land Gabriel Murphy in pick 90, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 161
They reached a country mile for Cody Schrader at the 123rd pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 147
Value said wait; Jaylin Simpson in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 156
Austin Booker at pick No. 163 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
A conviction pick on Dwight McGlothern at slot 239 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
