Grand theft in the 106th overall pick: the Commanders steal Johnson and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Greg Johnson, the No. 74 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 106. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Gilliam reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the 4th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
Value said wait; Xavier Gilliam in slot 36 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ryan Coleman-Williams
Ryan Coleman-Williams in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in No. 106 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
Value with a capital V on Tony Rojas in pick 143, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at pick No. 183 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
Niki Prongos at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
