Call it belief, call it a gut call, but John Emery Jr. at the Round 7 slot is 176 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Higgins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
