There is reaching, and then there is Zion Logue at pick 241. The Commanders jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback went begging. The Newton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 29
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 26
Troy Fautanu at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 54
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bralen Trice in pick 35, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 47
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 36. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe at the 69th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 56
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at the 70th overall pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 113
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 91
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 93
They let Javon Baker come to them and pounced at slot 105. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
A tidy bit of business in the 108th pick, where Jalen McMillan graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 123
Josh Newton slipping to pick 138 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 199
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at pick No. 181, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 237
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 220 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 289
Zion Logue at No. 241 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
