This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keylan Rutledge, the No. 79 name on the board, stolen at the 107th pick.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Coleman Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 6 with a little surplus value in Chris Johnson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A tidy little value on Chase Bisontis in the 59th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Domonique Orange went about where he belonged in pick 70. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They will replay Keylan Rutledge at the 107th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Drew Allar in slot 146 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A reach on Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 149; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jeff Caldwell in pick 206 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andre Fuller in pick No. 248. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
