The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: D'Angelo Ponds, the No. 47 name on the board, sitting there at slot 71 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
