Dawson DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Commanders never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.
That Crawford pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick61
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
They let Jordan Hancock come to them and pounced at the 207th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
The board had Tyler Batty higher than Round 7, Pick 20, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at pick 250 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
