Larceny in slot 222 lands the Commanders a B, Etienne and all. Call it larceny. Trevor Etienne sat on the board until pick 222, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.
With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 45 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94
Rnd3
Darien Porter
The board fumbled Darien Porter all the way to Round 3, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
A curious use of slot 109. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Danny Stutsman did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the 120th pick, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Value with a capital V on Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 132, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 205 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 213th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
