The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Magee pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Dallas Turner and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In pick 15 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 4 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
They took Brenden Rice at par in No. 67, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in slot 82, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Fair-plus on Bucky Irving, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Frank Gore Jr. at slot 181. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
Jordan Magee in the 223rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
