The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, Round 6, Pick 33, roughly 95 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Everette has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
Fair-plus on Isaiah Bond, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 70
Gunnar Helm at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jordan James · RB · rank 53
Taking Jordan James in the 89th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 119
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at pick No. 105 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 105
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 143 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 211
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 208
Value with a capital V on Miles Frazier in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 184
They robbed the room for Karene Reid here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
