There were mixed feelings among fans when the trade back was announced and the Commanders selected WR Jahan Dotson #16 overall last Thursday night in the opening round of the NFL draft.
I think the initial response was enthusiasm about the trade-back, especially since a lot of people assumed that the Saints were moving up to take a quarterback, which would work in the Commanders’ favor.
But that enthusiasm started to wane quickly as the names that every mock drafter had been focused on for the previous two months disappeared from the board in quick succession.
