There is reaching, and then there is Robert Scott Jr. at slot 232. The Commanders jumped the board by 41 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Darius Slayton pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In slot 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in No. 36. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Quinn Ewers · QB · rank 41
By-the-book stuff, Quinn Ewers at pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 38th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 47
Chris Braswell in the 39th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 80
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 3, Pick 4 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 112
The board had cheaper options than Blake Fisher at slot 100, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 115
A reach on Tate Ratledge in pick 104; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 141
Sataoa Laumea in the 135th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 162
A real head-scratcher, Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 139
Beaux Limmer at Round 5, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 198
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 182nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Reuben Fatheree II · OT · rank 231
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Reuben Fatheree II. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Robert Scott Jr. · OT · rank 273
Robert Scott Jr. in pick No. 232 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.
