If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Tupuola-Fetui at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Fred Warner leading the way.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 30
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 32
Graham Barton in the 36th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 36
Adonai Mitchell at No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Kalen King · CB · rank 42
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kalen King. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 67
They took Caelen Carson at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Good price on Zak Zinter in pick 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 102 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
A slide stopped in the 162nd pick, with Braelon Allen worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Zion Tupuola-Fetui · DE-EDGE · rank 165
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 230
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at pick 223, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
