The Commanders torched the value chart for Dylan McMahon, taking him 83 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Walker.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Devontez Walker in the 101st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They reached into another round for Cedric Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A real head-scratcher, Myles Murphy in No. 138 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan McMahon. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Trey Knox in pick No. 220 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
