The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tre Harris, the No. 192 name on the board, in pick 228. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Sinnott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Brandon Scherff leading the way.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, JT Tuimoloau and all.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.28
· Pick 28
· JT Tuimoloau
· DE-EDGE
· rank 30
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4
· Pick 36
· Josh Newton
· CB
· rank 32
Good price on Josh Newton in No. 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.7
· Pick 39
· Jordan Morgan
· OT
· rank 45
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in the 39th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.28
· Pick 60
· Sedrick Van Pran
· C
· rank 65
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at Round 2, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.7
· Pick 71
· Rod Moore
· S
· rank 76
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in slot 71. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.32
· Pick 95
· Danny Stutsman
· LB
· rank 101
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.37
· Pick 100
· Ben Sinnott
· TE
· rank 128
Ben Sinnott at pick 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.7
· Pick 107
· Tory Horton
· WR
· rank 93
Value with a capital V on Tory Horton in the 107th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.19
· Pick 119
· Tyleik Williams
· DT
· rank 108
Tyleik Williams in pick 119 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.8
· Pick 144
· KJ Jefferson
· QB
· rank 137
KJ Jefferson at the 144th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.10
· Pick 185
· Devin Neal
· RB
· rank 178
Fair-plus on Devin Neal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.8
· Pick 228
· Tre Harris
· WR
· rank 192
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
