The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 108 on Ahmed Hassanein a full 111 spots early. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
So much rides on Donovan Jackson that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick-by-Pick
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 4, Pick 7 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board had cheaper options than Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 179, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Tonka Hemingway in the 207th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Eason in the 238th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
