FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B. The Commanders torched the value chart for Carson Steele, taking him 93 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Rosengarten pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in the 44th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick50
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
No edge and no loss on Adisa Isaac in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 55 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at pick No. 71, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in the 75th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in slot 77 leaves tight end for later.
Pick92
Rnd3
Blake Corum
They read the board right and Blake Corum was the payoff at No. 92. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 32. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd4
DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 103 on Javon Solomon with tight end unsolved.
Pick111
Rnd4
James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the 111th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in No. 112 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 181st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Value with a capital V on Sione Vaki in slot 182, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220
Rnd6
Carson Steele
Carson Steele in pick 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
