The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, No. 239, roughly 126 picks past where he belonged.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Booker in the 55th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 86th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A quiet steal in pick No. 122: Luke Kandra for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They took Eli Stowers at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 23, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
