Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Mohamed Kamara at the 100th pick, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Ford pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 7
In slot 2 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 37
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nate Wiggins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 60
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper DeJean this early at the 42nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 72
By-the-book stuff, Mekhi Wingo at the 66th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 131
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in pick 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 108
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 154
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 162
Jaylan Ford at the 180th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 225
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylon Carlies at Round 7, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
