B

Washington Commanders

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Vidal: B.

Future B

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kimani Vidal fell into the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while wide receiver went begging. They are betting Hartman proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
No edge and no loss on Joe Alt in pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 36 with a little surplus value in Tyler Nubin. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than the 67th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
A surprising call. With wide receiver still to address, they spent No. 97 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson at the 100th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
They let Michael Hall Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 102. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 126
The board had Isaiah Adams higher than No. 141, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 156
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at the 172nd pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 211
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in pick 181 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 191
The board fumbled Kimani Vidal all the way to pick No. 223, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
