Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Commanders a B, Tuten and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 207th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Kennard reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They liked Kyle Kennard enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 29. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in slot 79 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 207 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at No. 238 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They robbed the room for R.J. Mickens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
