The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent pick No. 128 on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, a name the board had a full 35 spots lower.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 205 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
Value said wait; Jaylin Smith in pick No. 245 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
