The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Logan Fano, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
A wild overpay on Markel Bell in pick No. 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Value said wait; Trey Moore in the 147th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Red Murdock in Round 6, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Logan Fano in No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Thaddeus Dixon slid further than he should have, and slot 223 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
