This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at the 241st overall pick.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in pick No. 58, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tyler Warren in Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Sonny Styles at pick 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Rod Moore at the 165th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
