Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 60 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 146.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Dellinger left real value on the table behind him.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A reach for Charles Grant in the 79th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
TreVeyon Henderson at the 146th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Miles Frazier at pick 203 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They went early on Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 20, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Taking Jack Kiser in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
