There is reaching, and then there is Christian Haynes at the 40th pick. The Commanders jumped the board by 34 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 38
Bralen Trice at No. 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in pick 35, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
They took Tyler Guyton at par in the 36th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 74
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Haynes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 72
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at the 67th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
They read the board right and Sedrick Van Pran was the payoff at pick 101. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 120
A reach on Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 3; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 105th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 137
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 210
Austin Stogner in No. 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 238
A conviction pick on Darius Muasau at slot 222 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
