You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 181 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in wide receiver and interior defensive lineman stayed open.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In pick No. 14 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 36th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 68
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
Blake Fisher in slot 100 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 2: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while wide receiver and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 98
The board fumbled Audric Estime all the way to the 117th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
Jordan Travis in No. 141 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 151
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 3, where Kenny Logan Jr. graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
