The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Wyatt Milum, pick 252, roughly 217 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 48 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at slot 78 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Jahdae Barron at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Taking Wyatt Milum in pick 252 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
