The Commanders robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: A-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Elijah Jones got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In the end it comes back to Jackson Powers-Johnson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 23 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 36th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They paid up for T'Vondre Sweat at pick 40 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 47 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
A slide stopped in No. 80, with Bralen Trice worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Cade Stover is a better player than the 101st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James slipping to slot 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They did well to land Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 5, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A tidy bit of business in pick 113, where Audric Estime graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mohamed Kamara in the 138th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at slot 181, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in the 187th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 15 with a little surplus value in Jordan Jefferson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
They let Johnny Dixon come to them and pounced at pick No. 196. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210
Rnd6
Kendall Milton
They robbed the room for Kendall Milton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Somehow Isaiah Williams was still sitting there in the 222nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245
Rnd7
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
