Future B-

The Commanders bet big and early on Junior Colson, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That Mustapha pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Ford is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In slot 3 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 34
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 63
A wild overpay on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 28
Keon Coleman slipping to the 40th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 114
Junior Colson in the 67th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 77
They went early on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
A big swing on Khyree Jackson at the 100th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 135
Mike Sainristil at pick 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 150
A want over a need in pick No. 103: Jaylan Ford adds a linebacker while tight end, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 142
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in slot 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 154
They barely believed it either: Malik Mustapha still on the board at No. 181. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 218
Isaiah Williams in Round 7, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
