The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Jordan Phillips, the No. 108 name on the board, sitting there at the 128th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
