Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mickens should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how R.J. Mickens got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at slot 245. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The cost of the Tuten reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 29 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Noel in pick 61, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 205 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
The board fumbled R.J. Mickens all the way to slot 245, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
