The rest of the league will want that one back. Michael Penix Jr. tumbling to the Dolphins in the 55th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They robbed the room for Michael Penix Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Taking Beau Brade in pick 158 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Keegan in the 184th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Steal is underselling it; Walter Rouse at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They barely believed it either: Javontae Jean-Baptiste still on the board at slot 241. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
