This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 25 name on the board, stolen at pick 67. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
Will Johnson at the 3rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at the 56th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Tre Harris slipping to slot 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 67 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
