This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 39.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 27th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Circle this one: Carnell Tate at pick No. 58 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Spencer Fano at slot 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Steal is underselling it; Jermod McCoy at Round 4, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 138, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Kenyon Sadiq in the 139th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
