Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Taylen Green in pick No. 147, a good 38 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They read the board right and Jake Slaughter was the payoff at slot 71. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A real head-scratcher, Taylen Green in No. 147 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
The board had Ted Hurst higher than pick No. 187, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jeff Caldwell in the 198th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the 223rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
