Washington Commanders

Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B.

Future B-

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 1, a reach of 51 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In pick 9 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
The board had cheaper options than Chris Braswell at pick No. 40, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in the 67th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in slot 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 152
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 126
Justin Eboigbe at pick 103 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 102
They let Dominick Puni come to them and pounced at pick No. 111. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · James Williams · S · rank 135
James Williams at slot 138 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
Value said wait; Michael Barrett in No. 142 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 179
Roger Rosengarten in the 181st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 199
They jumped the gun on Tarheeb Still, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 254
Hunter Nourzad in the 230th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Isaac Guerendo at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
