This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mike Sainristil, the No. 82 name on the board, stolen at pick 116.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A slide stopped in the 47th pick, with Bralen Trice worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for Mike Sainristil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A tidy bit of business in slot 185, where Nathan Thomas graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
