FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Skattebo: B+. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 111 name on the board, stolen at No. 232. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the 14th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 53 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 18 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They liked Jake Majors enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 84. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at slot 120 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick183
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 183rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193
Rnd6
Luke Kandra
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Kandra in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Taking Simeon Barrow Jr. in slot 195 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
A straight-up fair deal on Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in No. 233, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
They will replay Jake Briningstool at the 240th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
