This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Danny Stutsman, the No. 85 name on the board, stolen at pick 165. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Xavier Watts in pick No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at Round 4, Pick 25. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick 241, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
