Washington Commanders

The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Eric Gentry, 34 picks early at pick No. 228.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pearsall.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Commanders indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in cornerback, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

Bottom line, with Kris Abrams-Draine leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Kris Abrams-Draine · DB · rank 34
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul in No. 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 67
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Sawyer a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 84
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 7 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 76
Adonai Mitchell at slot 88 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 93
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 100th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 123
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at the 107th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 126
Ricky Pearsall in No. 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 178
Nothing to complain about; Raheim Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 262
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
