Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Ben Sinnott; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 48 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot.
They banked enough surplus on Harden to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In the end it comes back to Amarius Mims, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick 20 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 36. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 40th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A slide stopped in the 67th pick, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than Round 3, Pick 37, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
DJ James
Value with a capital V on DJ James in the 102nd overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at pick No. 139 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
No edge and no loss on Dylan Laube in slot 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Myles Harden
You do not let a cornerback like Myles Harden reach the 222nd pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
