When a board-topper like Jalen McMillan slides to the Round 4 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Taylor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
In the 27th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 42
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
Tyler Guyton in the 67th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 81
Braden Fiske slid further than he should have, and slot 90 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 91 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
Roman Wilson at pick 101 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
They let Zak Zinter come to them and pounced at No. 103. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 77
Taking Jalen McMillan in Round 4, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 117
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in Round 4, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Max Melton · CB · rank 112
The board fumbled Max Melton all the way to No. 133, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
Tommy Eichenberg is a better player than the 138th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 182
No drama and no debate, Nathan Thomas went about where he belonged in slot 181. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 200
Kimani Vidal at the 220th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 207
Nice patience on Rasheen Ali, who had no business lasting to pick No. 221. It fills a real need, too.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 224
By-the-book stuff, Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 224 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Erick All · TE · rank 230
Erick All at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 253
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in pick No. 235, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
