Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Tahj Brooks slides to the 207th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They will need Ritzie to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
No drama and no debate, Princely Umanmielen went about where he belonged in No. 29. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 61 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 79th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Brooks at the 207th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
They reached a country mile for Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 238, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Teddye Buchanan graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
