If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They will need Isaac to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Sainristil pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, JC Latham and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In slot 8 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In pick No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They took Bralen Trice at par in No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 63
A real head-scratcher, Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe in the 67th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 84
They let Braden Fiske come to them and pounced at the 100th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at Round 4, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 141 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 170
They read the board right and Andru Phillips was the payoff at slot 181. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 181
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in the 182nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Erick All · TE · rank 215
Value with a capital V on Erick All in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
