Larceny in slot 106 lands the Commanders a A, Thompkins and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Devan Thompkins slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Mason McCormick pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
The trade work was a quiet net positive. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Cayden Green
Nice patience on Cayden Green, who had no business lasting to pick 23. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Charlie Becker
By-the-book stuff, Charlie Becker at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey'Dez Green
They robbed the room for Trey'Dez Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Circle this one: Kade Pieper at Round 3, Pick 5 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Devan Thompkins
The board fumbled Devan Thompkins all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142
Rnd5
Earl Little Jr.
They let Earl Little Jr. come to them and pounced at the 142nd overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at pick No. 183 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson in No. 225 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
