The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, the 241st pick, roughly 132 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Walter Nolen at No. 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to pick No. 58, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 126th overall pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Cam Skattebo at the 241st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
