Jax728 DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Tyreak Sapp. He came off 30 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Dixon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick No. 7 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tyreak Sapp
A real head-scratcher, Tyreak Sapp in No. 71 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
A premium they did not need to pay, Aamil Wagner a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185
Rnd6
Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon is a better player than the 196th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at pick 223 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
