A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in the 46th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at slot 48 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in the 59th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in No. 67; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Good price on Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in slot 113 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 138, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Hartman at the 220th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 221 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
