Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 93 picks early on Bhayshul Tuten, and the board is going to hold them to it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 61 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 26. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 205 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
