Larceny in slot 128 lands the Commanders a B, Winston Jr. and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kevin Winston Jr. got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 128.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 29th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jay Higgins in slot 205. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than No. 245 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
