The Commanders robbed the room for Hill Jr.. Final grade: B. Call it larceny. Anthony Hill Jr. sat on the board until the 71st pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Whittington lower, and that gap is the story. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
David Bailey
In the 7th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Anthony Hill Jr.
Taking Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 71 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147
Rnd5
Malik Benson
Nothing to complain about; Malik Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 187 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Noah Whittington
A reach on Noah Whittington in pick 209; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen in slot 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
