If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Jenkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Tremaine Edmunds leading the way.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brock Bowers. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R1.31 · Pick 31 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In No. 31 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 31
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 58
Kris Jenkins at slot 68 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 71
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 93
Tyleik Williams at the 100th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at the 104th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 129
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 142
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 146
Payton Wilson at Round 5, Pick 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Graham Mertz · QB · rank 215
Graham Mertz in No. 213 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 216
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in slot 225. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
