Washington Commanders

The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 168 name on the board, stolen at pick 206. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Nic Scourton · DE-EDGE · rank 29
In the 30th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 68
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 55
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Bond reach slot 79 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Carson Schwesinger at No. 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.9 · Pick 148 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 115
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 9, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.36 · Pick 175 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 180
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in pick No. 175, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.28 · Pick 206 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 168
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at pick 206 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.29 · Pick 207 · Woody Marks · RB · rank 184
Steal is underselling it; Woody Marks at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.20 · Pick 238 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 240
By-the-book stuff, Jake Briningstool at Round 7, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.32 · Pick 250 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 216
Jacob Parrish in slot 250 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.38 · Pick 256 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 294
Thor Griffith at the 256th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
