The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in George Gumbs Jr., taking him 43 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Prysock at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Keldric Faulk · DE-EDGE · rank 13
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keldric Faulk. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Austin Barber · OT · rank 109
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Austin Barber. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.7 · Pick 147 · George Gumbs Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 190
This one needs a full-page explanation: George Gumbs Jr. in the 147th overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R6.6 · Pick 187 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
Value with a capital V on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 187th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.28 · Pick 209 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 188
Ephesians Prysock at slot 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.7 · Pick 223 · Harrison Wallace III · WR · rank 209
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Harrison Wallace III at No. 223. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
