The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B. There is reaching, and then there is Cam Horsley at slot 205. The Commanders jumped the board by 24 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Belton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 29th overall pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 29, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 128th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205
Rnd6
Cam Horsley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Horsley well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245
Rnd7
Shemar James
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 245 with a little surplus value in Shemar James. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
