The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Wyatt Milum, Round 5, Pick 33, roughly 142 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 5
In the 12th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty in the 48th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 13
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 11
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 22
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach slot 133 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 24
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at pick 148. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick No. 168, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 28
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Kyle Kennard · DE-EDGE · rank 76
Taking Kyle Kennard in the 173rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 47
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at Round 6, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 86
They will replay Dylan Fairchild at slot 209 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 132
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 248, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
