The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Keon Coleman slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · JC Latham · OT · rank 16
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in the 36th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
Darius Robinson at No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is a better player than the 67th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 92
Caelen Carson slid further than he should have, and slot 101 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter in pick No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
Ben Sinnott in pick 138 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 125
Josh Newton in pick 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 157
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jordan Travis in slot 181, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Jaden Crumedy · DT-EDGE · rank 227
They paid sticker price for Jaden Crumedy in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
