The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Jaheim Bell went at pick No. 71, a good 53 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Sturdivant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
