The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Tommy Eichenberg, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In pick 12 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 38
Ladd McConkey at No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 55
A reach on Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 102
Michael Pratt at the 67th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
Tommy Eichenberg at the 89th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
Cole Bishop in No. 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 117
They paid up for Malik Washington at pick 102 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 154
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in the 141st pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jawhar Jordan well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 245
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tatum Bethune this early at slot 223. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
