You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Freeling reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
