The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 13
In pick 13 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 34
Troy Fautanu in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 8 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
J.J. McCarthy at the 49th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Rod Moore · S · rank 70
Rod Moore in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 102
Dominick Puni at pick No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 81
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach pick 102 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 142
Javion Cohen at No. 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 152
They barely believed it either: Joe Milton III still on the board at the 173rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 159
Taking Malik Washington in Round 6, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 218
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Magee in the 223rd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 241
Value with a capital V on Ja'Had Carter in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
