Washington Commanders

The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot, a good 50 spots before the room expected him.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

Adding Jessie Bates III by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Olumuyiwa Fashanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 30
Bo Nix in slot 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at No. 43, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the 67th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A wild overpay on Cedric Gray in No. 78, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A quiet steal in the 139th pick: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 272
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
