No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Commanders walked right past. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Landing Wester that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Brown reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st pick with a little surplus value in TreVeyon Henderson. It fills a real need, too.
Jayden Higgins at No. 79 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reach on Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They let Luke Lachey come to them and pounced at pick 207. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They took Jaishawn Barham at par in slot 238, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Nice patience on LaJohntay Wester, who had no business lasting to the 250th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
