Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Joe Milton III at pick 144 is 56 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Polk makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They did well to land Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
Ja'Lynn Polk slid further than he should have, and No. 87 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson at slot 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
McKinnley Jackson at the 114th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A premium they did not need to pay, Johnny Wilson a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 167
A big swing on Dillon Johnson at slot 128, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick 144, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 254
Value said wait; Miyan Williams in Round 6, Pick 41 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
