If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Landing Wright that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In the 6th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 22
Bo Nix at pick No. 34 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
A straight-up fair deal on Bralen Trice at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 36
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in pick 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 114
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at No. 100 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in the 102nd overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They will replay Jaylen Wright at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
They took Brevyn Spann-Ford at par in pick No. 223, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
