Thirty-one other rooms let Bru McCoy slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at No. 228. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 4
In the 7th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 44
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 39. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at No. 45, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 73
Chris Braswell in slot 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 96
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 108
Tate Ratledge in the 107th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 147
Luke Lachey at pick 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 175
Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.17 · Pick 192 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 166
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 192 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Bru McCoy · WR · rank 190
The board fumbled Bru McCoy all the way to Round 7, Pick 8, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 238
No edge and no loss on Jaxson Dart in pick 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
