Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent slot 223 on Kamran James, a name most had 126 spots down the list.

They banked enough surplus on Bernard to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 7th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Slaughter in the 71st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Germie Bernard
Steal is underselling it; Germie Bernard at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They paid a round early for VJ Payne in Round 6, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
By-the-book stuff, Sawyer Robertson at pick No. 209 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamran James
A big swing on Kamran James at No. 223, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
