Washington Commanders

The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Jawhar Jordan, taking him 77 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
In slot 9 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.17 · Pick 17 · JC Latham · OT · rank 16
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
The board had Dallas Turner higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 49
Jordan Morgan at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 80
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 66 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 97
A clean, defensible pick in pick 100 with a little surplus value in Adisa Isaac. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Max Melton · CB · rank 118
They jumped the gun on Max Melton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 123
A conviction pick on J. Michael Sturdivant at slot 109 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 181
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 186
No edge and no loss on Moose Muhammad III in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 300
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jawhar Jordan. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
