This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, stolen at pick 167. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
They let Matthew Golden come to them and pounced at pick No. 58. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Tate Ratledge slipping to the 89th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 127th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Cam Skattebo at Round 5, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A quiet steal in pick 243: Jake Briningstool for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
