Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 29: the Commanders steal Gordon II and grade out a B-.

Somebody in the Round 6 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Ollie Gordon II, the No. 173 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Rucker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in pick 128 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 205 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at the 245th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
