FutureA
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Commanders. The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. If Sweat pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On value alone, McGregor makes the weekend a net positive.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
They took Caleb Williams at par in the 3rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at pick 42, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 139th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in slot 141, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146
Rnd5
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 146 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181
Rnd6
Javon Baker
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 6. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 182 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Braiden McGregor
Taking Braiden McGregor in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
