Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

The Teddye Buchanan pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinshon Judkins. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at No. 128, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A wild overpay on Kyren Lacy in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
