If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 11 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Tyler Warren at the 24th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 124th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jake Majors at pick 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Etienne. The roster fit checks out.
