When a board-topper like Tez Johnson slides to pick No. 148, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Reaching for Conner left real value on the table behind him.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 35
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 54
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Bond in pick No. 61. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 53
Steal is underselling it; Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 79 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 104
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 133 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.9 · Pick 148 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 89
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the 148th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.36 · Pick 175 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 131
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at the 175th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.28 · Pick 206 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 214
A reach on Hayden Conner in pick 206; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 207 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 194
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Karene Reid at Round 6, Pick 29 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.9 · Pick 227 · CJ West · DT · rank 217
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ West at the 227th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.20 · Pick 238 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 205
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.32 · Pick 250 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 224
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in pick No. 250, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
