The Aaron Lynch signing was not flashy, but it certainly was needed. One thing that I have noted recently doing mock drafts is that it was impossible to get past round four without a depth edge rusher.
With Leonard Floyd entering a contract year, and Kylie Fitts and Isaiah Irving as the only listed depth, the position was really lacking. All of a sudden you were forcing players, or passing on potential studs at other positions because you could not go any longer without filling that void. And if you did, it led to more reaching.
