Nix is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a F. The Commanders torched the value chart for Grant Gunnell, taking him 231 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They have staked the next five years on Bo Nix, which is the only story that really matters here.
The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, running back and other spots still on the board. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 6th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick No. 10 they get their guy under center for the next decade, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 4. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A conviction pick on Zach Frazier at the 47th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Fair-plus on Adisa Isaac, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick 69, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Anim Dankwah
They talked themselves into Anim Dankwah at the 101st pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at cornerback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick106
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 106th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 124, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick141
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They liked Javion Cohen enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
AJ Barner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for AJ Barner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take De'Corian Clark this early at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A wild overpay on Jaylen Harrell in No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Grant Gunnell
Grant Gunnell in pick 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jesus Gibbs
They reached a country mile for Jesus Gibbs at pick No. 220, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at slot 245 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
