Future A

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

They will need Eichenberg to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In slot 7 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.18 · Pick 18 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 18
In pick 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
Troy Fautanu at the 38th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 61
Denzel Burke at the 50th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 60
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 66 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 108
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Eichenberg well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 110
Roman Wilson in No. 100 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
