The Commanders let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a D. The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 106 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 231 like a gift left on the doorstep. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The Tyreek Hill pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value.
Pick48
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 48th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 79th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at No. 115 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in the Round 5 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in slot 202, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
They jumped the gun on Shilo Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gentry Williams this early at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Nwankpa at pick 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
