This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 156 name on the board, stolen at slot 239. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Nwankpa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 19 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at the 55th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Kandra well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Nwankpa this early at No. 164. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at pick 239 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
