They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Shilo Sanders, 67 picks early at slot 210. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Shough at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
