The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Tyreak Sapp went at Round 3, Pick 7, a good 34 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In No. 7 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick71
Rnd3
Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick No. 146 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in pick 186 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197
Rnd6
Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in the 197th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 223 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
