The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, pick 151, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Grant pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 16 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all.
Jalon Walker at the 47th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They went early on Quinn Ewers in the 78th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 14, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
