Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Teddye Buchanan, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 29 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick 61, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They talked themselves into Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in the 205th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A reach on Sam Brown Jr. in No. 245; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
