Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Commanders a B, Tuten and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the Commanders in pick No. 236 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 61 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 79th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at the 146th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
A conviction pick on Jonah Monheim at slot 203 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
A big swing on Gentry Williams at pick 247, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
