Grand theft in No. 203: the Commanders steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a B.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 109 name on the board, sitting there at pick 203 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 29 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 61st pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 79 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A tidy little value on Hayden Conner in the 146th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick236 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 7, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
