You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They read the board right and Matthew Golden was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 26. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Tyler Warren in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Kandra in pick 126, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Sonny Styles at No. 165 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.
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at slot 241. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
