You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at the 239th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Nwankpa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 19 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Tate Ratledge in pick 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Gunnar Helm at pick No. 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Barrett Carter at the 122nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A big swing on Xavier Nwankpa at Round 5, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
