FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B. The Commanders torched the value chart for Jay Toia, taking him 80 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The Mullings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 26th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
A wild overpay on Derrick Moore in pick 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
LT Overton
They reached a country mile for LT Overton at the 123rd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in pick No. 125 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
They robbed the room for Howard Cross III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Samuel Brown
Samuel Brown at the 135th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Emery Jones Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tony Grimes
Value said wait; Tony Grimes in slot 198 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick235
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the 235th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239
Rnd7
Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jay Toia
Jay Toia at pick No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
