Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Teddye Buchanan at slot 205 is 53 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Ezeiruaku at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 29 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They read the board right and Donovan Ezeiruaku was the payoff at pick 61. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They jumped the gun on Oluwafemi Oladejo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 205th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in No. 245 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
