The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Moore: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malachi Moore, Round 5, Pick 11, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With cornerback and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Tee Higgins leading the way.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at pick 40. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 3, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in No. 76 with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Ivey. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in the 93rd overall pick leaves cornerback and quarterback for later.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 111th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 130 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to pick No. 148, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick186
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They robbed the room for Oronde Gadsden II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
You do not let a wide receiver like Roc Taylor reach the 222nd pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at slot 250 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick 254, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Lindenberg at pick 256. It adds depth where they could use a little.
