There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Collin Oliver, 70 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Alexander. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They let Aireontae Ersery come to them and pounced at No. 61. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Sampson at pick 79 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Darius Alexander at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nothing to complain about; Alijah Huzzie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Collin Oliver in No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
