Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Commanders a B+, Lew and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Connor Lew, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at pick 112. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Canady has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 7th pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick112
Rnd4
Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 112 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in Round 5, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ephesians Prysock
A reach on Ephesians Prysock in pick 177; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
They liked Jadon Canady enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
They did well to land Jeff Caldwell in slot 223, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
