The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot, roughly 137 spots before his name belonged. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Neal. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 40th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick42
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
The board fumbled Shavon Revel Jr. all the way to pick No. 42, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at No. 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
A slide stopped in pick 103, with Dylan Fairchild worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Darius Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in Round 5, Pick 7, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 148th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188
Rnd6
Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at pick No. 188 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207
Rnd6
Ryan Fitzgerald
A specialist of that caliber at the 207th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick209
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in slot 209, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at No. 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick250
Rnd7
James Burnip
James Burnip in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick256
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach Round 7, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
