Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Collin Oliver, 82 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They read the board right and Nick Emmanwori was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 29 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sai'vion Jones this early at slot 79. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They liked Anthony Belton enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 104. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in pick 207, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in the 221st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at No. 238 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylin Smith at pick 250, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
