The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Brevyn Spann-Ford, taking him 49 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 45
A premium they did not need to pay, Devontez Walker a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
They did well to land Chop Robinson in No. 40, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in pick 56. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
Good price on Javon Bullard in the 67th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
Junior Colson in pick No. 77 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in slot 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 159
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edefuan Ulofoshio this early at the 138th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 185
Jordan Jefferson at the 167th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 230
They reached into another round for Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 217
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Sam Hartman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 247
They paid a round early for Joshua Cephus in No. 233, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
