The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Theo Johnson, 48 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Eichenberg pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman. Landing Sainristil that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In No. 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 41
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in pick No. 36, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
Edgerrin Cooper at the 40th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 102
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 100 on Tommy Eichenberg with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 150
Theo Johnson at slot 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach pick 103 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in pick No. 141, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
A big swing on Jared Wiley at the 181st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
Tatum Bethune at No. 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
