Somebody in the 195th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Tyler Guyton, the No. 144 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Reaching for Henderson left real value on the table behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The DeJean pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, tight end and other spots.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In the 7th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 42
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in pick 36. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 51
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in Round 2, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Cooper DeJean · DB · rank 55
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Cooper DeJean with wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 75
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 89 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 129
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in No. 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Rod Moore · DB · rank 80
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Rod Moore in slot 107 leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots for later.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 119
Troy Fautanu in the 144th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 222
A big swing on Omar Speights at No. 185, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Jason Henderson · LB · rank 242
Jason Henderson at pick No. 194 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 144
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to slot 195, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Tony Grimes · DB · rank 211
A slide stopped in the 228th pick, with Tony Grimes worth more than the price. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
