Grand theft in pick No. 230: the Commanders steal Green and grade out a C-.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cayden Green fell into pick 230.

They will need Matthews to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. With tight end and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on running back is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mike Matthews
In the 9th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Circle this one: Will Echoles at slot 41 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brice Pollock
They paid up for Brice Pollock at No. 73 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Raleek Brown
Of all the spots to shop, they chose running back. Raleek Brown in pick 111 leaves tight end and quarterback for later.
Pick148 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 148th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. at pick No. 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cayden Green
Cayden Green in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
