Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent the 128th overall pick on Bhayshul Tuten, a name most had 26 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 29 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 205. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
