The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Henderson: B.
by fetus ·
2025 NFL Draft

· 2 reaches
Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until pick No. 137, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.
The Prather reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A safety of that caliber at the 61st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A reach for Charles Grant in pick 82; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Denzel Burke at pick No. 89 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Jaylen Reed in No. 207 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They reached a country mile for Kaden Prather at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
