Somebody took the Commanders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Bertrand proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Clark pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 3, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
Tyler Davis at pick No. 100 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Bell went about where he belonged in pick 138. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Cam Hart at the 141st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dylan Laube. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at No. 150. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
JD Bertrand at No. 181 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
De'Corian Clark at the 223rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 234
Trevor Keegan in the 228th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
