The Commanders pounced the moment Jalen McMillan slipped to pick No. 102, and it is the smartest thing they did all weekend.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Jeremy Chinn pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 21
In the 19th pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.31 · Pick 31 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 22
In the 31st overall pick they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in No. 36, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 39
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 2, Pick 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at slot 51 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 58
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 67. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 82
A slide stopped in slot 94, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 102
Spencer Rattler in the 98th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 100
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in pick No. 100, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 85
Jalen McMillan in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 137
Cedric Gray at Round 5, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
