The war room fell hard for Beau Brade, and it showed at the Round 3 slot: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

If Rome Odunze and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
