You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

Every board in the league had Gray lower, and that gap is the story. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 29
Good price on JT Tuimoloau in slot 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 41
They paid sticker price for Devontez Walker in pick No. 40, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 48
They took Denzel Burke at par in the 47th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 112
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at the 100th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 119
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 146
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 177
Josh Proctor at the 181st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Fentrell Cypress II · CB · rank 231
A premium they did not need to pay, Fentrell Cypress II a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
