FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B+. The Commanders torched the value chart for Austin Reed, taking him 64 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick 22 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the 27th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Fair-plus on Kool-Aid McKinstry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick40
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick No. 40, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at Round 2, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 53, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cade Stover
No drama and no debate, Cade Stover went about where he belonged in slot 78. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
They let Ainias Smith come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 16. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 210th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Value said wait; Austin Reed in pick 222 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
