This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, stolen at pick 241.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in pick 89, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 164th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
