FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-. The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot regardless, 137 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 37. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 61 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in slot 205 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 213 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
