This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Riley Leonard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at pick 144.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, with Jalon Walker leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 23
In pick No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
Omarion Hampton in the 37th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 51
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 69
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at slot 68 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
Jalen Milroe in the 89th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 98
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.5 · Pick 144 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 101
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 144 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.4 · Pick 182 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 151
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R6.36 · Pick 214 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 190
Taking Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.40 · Pick 218 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 193
Somehow Karene Reid was still sitting there in the 218th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.6 · Pick 224 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 210
Hayden Conner slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.38 · Pick 256 · Jahvaree Ritzie · DL · rank 259
They paid sticker price for Jahvaree Ritzie in pick No. 256, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
