It is the swing that defines the weekend: Garrett Dellinger in No. 213, a good 71 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Edwards value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 47
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 48
In No. 28 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Watts went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Higgins at pick No. 81 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 99
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Skattebo at slot 108. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 115
Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 173
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 180, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 284
Garrett Dellinger at pick 213 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 184
They robbed the room for Donovan Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R6.40 · Pick 216 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 203
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at the 216th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 239
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
