Washington Commanders

The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will need Spann-Ford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Jordan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 29
In the 26th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 25
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at the 35th pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 32
A reasonable price with a little left over, Graham Barton in pick 36. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 34
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 39 with a little surplus value in Chris Braswell. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Tampa at No. 40, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 106
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 2. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
Nice patience on Tommy Eichenberg, who had no business lasting to No. 133. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 133
They let Cam Hart come to them and pounced at the 141st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 146
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the 143rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 175
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 216
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 188 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
Jawhar Jordan at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
