Washington Commanders

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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Justin Eboigbe; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 109 spots ahead at slot 228. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Eichenberg pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 45
A reach for Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 27
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 36, where Terrion Arnold graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 60
Leonard Taylor III at No. 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 50
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at pick 42, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 99
A real head-scratcher, Payton Wilson in the 71st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 92
Mohamed Kamara at Round 3, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 93
By-the-book stuff, Tory Horton at the 94th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Max Melton · CB · rank 96
Max Melton at No. 100 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 124
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 107th overall pick on Tommy Eichenberg with quarterback unsolved.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 134
Cole Bishop in pick 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 161
Will Shipley in Round 5, Pick 8 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 179
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 337
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 228 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Gavin Bartholomew · TE · rank 276
A big swing on Gavin Bartholomew at slot 232, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 333
Blake Watson in pick No. 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
