The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
The Moss reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
On value alone, McNeil-Warren makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at Round 1, Pick 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A surprising call. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 55 on Anthony Hill Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick84
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
You do not let a safety like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren reach No. 84 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109
Rnd4
Caden Curry
Nothing to complain about; Caden Curry went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman to take Bishop Fitzgerald, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick120
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They paid sticker price for Michael Trigg in the 120th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the 145th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd5
Eric McAlister
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Eric McAlister. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at pick 196, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199
Rnd6
Isaac Smith
A wild overpay on Isaac Smith in the 199th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick223
Rnd7
Ethan O'Connor
Ethan O'Connor at No. 223 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
