The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: A. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Ja'Tavion Sanders slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They are betting Wilson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Bottom line, with Nate Wiggins leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
Fair-plus on Nate Wiggins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They let Chop Robinson come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Taking Ja'Tavion Sanders in No. 66 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 67th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 71st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick 78, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slipping to slot 90 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 100 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at pick No. 107 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 117 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Christian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke McCaffrey in the 152nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
The board had cheaper options than Joe Milton III at the 191st overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Myles Cole
They will replay Myles Cole at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
