Washington Commanders

The Commanders let Jordan fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The Jordan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in cornerback and edge rusher stayed open. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In the 16th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 23
Bo Nix at No. 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 36
Adonai Mitchell in slot 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 54
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than pick No. 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 84
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in Round 3, Pick 17, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at cornerback and edge rusher sat open.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Value with a capital V on Zak Zinter in pick 102, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 146
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in the 141st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 180
Michael Barrett in slot 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
Jawhar Jordan at the 223rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
