The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Harold Perkins Jr. slide 76 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They will need Miller to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 26th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A slide stopped in pick No. 59, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Miller in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid up for Ollie Gordon II at the 147th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Circle this one: Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 6, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A conviction pick on Oscar Delp at slot 236 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
