The rest of the league will want that one back. Wyatt Milum tumbling to the Commanders in slot 236 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Abdul Carter at slot 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach pick 80 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick No. 202, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in the 236th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
T.J. Sanders in the 244th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
