Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Que Robinson at the 117th overall pick is 120 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Landing Skattebo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 45
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Bond at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 67
Quinshon Judkins at slot 49 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach pick No. 76 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Que Robinson · LB-EDGE · rank 237
Que Robinson in the 117th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 77
Taking Barrett Carter in No. 148 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 139
Steal is underselling it; Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 172
No edge and no loss on Tyler Cooper in pick 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 184
Jaylen Reed in slot 173 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 193
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 11, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 201
Jordan Hancock at the 191st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 95
Cam Skattebo at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 297
A big swing on KJ Jefferson at pick No. 248, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
