This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 69 name on the board, stolen at the 159th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
Xavier Watts at No. 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at slot 138. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to Round 5, Pick 22, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
