Washington Commanders

The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

There is reaching, and then there is Fernando Carmona at pick No. 223. The Commanders jumped the board by 56 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That Ramsey pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Kayden McDonald and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Kayden McDonald · DT · rank 20
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
A slide stopped in the 49th pick, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Malik Muhammad · CB · rank 99
They talked themselves into Malik Muhammad at the 71st overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
Connor Lew in pick No. 86 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Kamari Ramsey · S · rank 74
Taking Kamari Ramsey in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 109
The board had Nicholas Singleton higher than pick 121, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 114
Value with a capital V on Keylan Rutledge in pick No. 123, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Benson · WR · rank 144
Malik Benson in slot 135 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.7 · Pick 147 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 187
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ephesians Prysock. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 186
Value said wait; Jeff Caldwell in the 152nd pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.7 · Pick 223 · Fernando Carmona · OT · rank 279
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fernando Carmona well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
