Washington Commanders

The Commanders let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

Future A+

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 30
They did well to land Troy Fautanu in slot 36, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 34
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in pick 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 96
Audric Estime at pick No. 102 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 133
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the 141st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Aki Ogunbiyi · OG · rank 185
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 246
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Thomas this early at Round 7, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 204
They barely believed it either: Myles Jones still on the board at the 230th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
