More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Scourton at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick 29 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 61 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A need, and now a little less of one.
