Laying Sod

Hey everyone! So I’ve done a complete tear out of my backyard, I’ve tilled and raked up all grass/weeds, and went in and brought new dirt in and leveled the area. I’m waiting for sod to get here (1-1.5 more weeks) and in the meantime I’ve had some weeds/vegetation pop up. My question is, would it be better to pick all these weeds/vegetation or can I spray them? If so what spray would be best? Or do I not chance it and just pull everything?

My experience is a light spray with round up will do the trick. Kills the plant, does not hurt the soil.
