Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Commanders a B, Tuten and all.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 207th overall pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Porter left real value on the table behind him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at pick 61, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
The board fumbled Elic Ayomanor all the way to the 79th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 6, Pick 29 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They robbed the room for Craig Woodson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They paid sticker price for Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 250, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
