Future A

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 23
In the 11th pick they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
In slot 23 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
They liked T.J. Tampa enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
Theo Johnson in Round 3, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Max Melton · CB · rank 77
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A big swing on Johnny Wilson at pick 100, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 133
They did well to land Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick in the 152nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 245
They reached a country mile for Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
