There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Commanders never got to the one that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jefferson. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 7 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Romello Height at slot 71 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Value with a capital V on J.C. Davis in No. 147, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
VJ Payne in Round 6, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Justin Jefferson at the Round 6 slot is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No drama and no debate, Brent Austin went about where he belonged in the 223rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
