The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 151 name on the board, sitting there at slot 244 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They are betting Warren proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 23 they get a mismatch in the passing game, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
The board had Derrick Harmon higher than slot 55, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jake Majors at the 74th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 199 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They jumped the gun on Deion Burks, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
