FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
The cost of the Bortolini reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
No drama and no debate, Brandon Dorlus went about where he belonged in the 53rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at No. 67. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 94th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis in slot 102 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A conviction pick on Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 21 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Fair-plus on Ty'Ron Hopper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 197th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
They paid a round early for Joshua Cephus in slot 223, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kedon Slovis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kedon Slovis at pick No. 249 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
