The war room fell hard for Maason Smith, and it showed at slot 77: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barton.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
In slot 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
Graham Barton in pick 43 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
They went early on Mike Sainristil in the 58th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
They jumped the gun on Blake Corum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 59
The board had Ricky Pearsall higher than the 74th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A real head-scratcher, Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
A clean, defensible pick in slot 88 with a little surplus value in Calen Bullock. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
Zak Zinter at pick No. 97 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Jones. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at the 143rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in pick 223, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
