When the story of this class is written, it opens with Maason Smith at the 58th pick, a reach of 26 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 13
In pick 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 84
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 2 slot leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 85
Malachi Corley at slot 90 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 123rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Shemar Turner · DL-EDGE · rank 137
They jumped the gun on Shemar Turner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 171
They paid up for Ty'Ron Hopper at the 163rd pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 253
Carson Steele in pick No. 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 240
A clean, defensible pick in the 247th pick with a little surplus value in Ja'Had Carter. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
