Washington Commanders

The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Murphy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Burton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 11
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 43
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
T.J. Tampa at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 56
Nice patience on Jermaine Burton, who had no business lasting to the 72nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 88
The board had Brenden Rice higher than pick 100, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 109
No edge and no loss on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 107th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 119
They went early on Jaheim Bell in No. 108, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 164
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabriel Murphy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 145
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 172
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in slot 185, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 180
They did well to land Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 195
Curtis Jacobs at the 202nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 221
Fair-plus on Zy Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
