The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Phillips to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, with Dallas Turner leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
The board had Chris Braswell higher than No. 40, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at slot 43 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in Round 2, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the 67th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jarrian Jones
They reached into another round for Jarrian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at slot 112 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
James Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and James Williams at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 5 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips is a better player than pick No. 181 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 182 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 223rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
