Washington Commanders

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a D-.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Jawhar Jordan, 77 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 11
In the 4th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.17 · Pick 17 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
A slide stopped in No. 34, with Dallas Turner worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 45
Calen Bullock in pick No. 42 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 66
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in slot 66, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 97
A tidy little value on Adisa Isaac in pick 100, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Max Melton · CB · rank 118
Max Melton at pick No. 102 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 181
Theo Johnson at the 139th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 186
No edge and no loss on Moose Muhammad III in Round 6, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 300
Jawhar Jordan at No. 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
