Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Rourke: B. When a board-topper like Kurtis Rourke slides to the 205th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.
The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In No. 29 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in pick 35, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick61
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at slot 86, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in the 136th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at pick No. 159. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach the 176th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at Round 5, Pick 39 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 185th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 207th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. slipping to pick No. 229 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at Round 7, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Woody Marks at pick 245 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in No. 250 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
They paid up for Kaden Prather at slot 257 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
