Washington Commanders

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

Nobody else had Quintayvious Hutchins anywhere near No. 147. The Commanders did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Law at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Keldric Faulk · DE-EDGE · rank 13
In the 7th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Drew Shelton · OT · rank 95
Value said wait; Drew Shelton in the 71st pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.7 · Pick 147 · Quintayvious Hutchins · DE-EDGE · rank 201
Quintayvious Hutchins in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.6 · Pick 187 · Red Murdock · LB · rank 193
No drama and no debate, Red Murdock went about where he belonged in slot 187. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.28 · Pick 209 · Kendrick Law · WR · rank 194
A slide stopped in No. 209, with Kendrick Law worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.7 · Pick 223 · Riley Nowakowski · TE · rank 216
Riley Nowakowski at pick 223 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
