Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent pick 205 on Teddye Buchanan, a name the board had a full 47 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A tidy little value on Emery Jones Jr. in No. 128, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at slot 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in Round 7, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
