The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Howell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
