The Commanders won the night they stopped Fairchild from sliding. Grade: B+. The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dylan Fairchild, the No. 56 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 22nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at pick No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at the 151st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in slot 168, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171
Rnd5
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at pick 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in slot 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to No. 239, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zy Alexander
Circle this one: Zy Alexander at the 246th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
