The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: C+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Princewill Umanmielen at pick No. 223, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Tuli Tuipulotu deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
If Makai Lemon and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In slot 22 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at Round 2, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare in No. 71 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
A real head-scratcher, Jaishawn Barham in pick 106 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110
Rnd4
Akheem Mesidor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at the 110th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145
Rnd5
Blake Miller
The board had Blake Miller higher than No. 145, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Trinidad Chambliss
They paid up for Trinidad Chambliss at slot 171 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 187. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198
Rnd6
Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at Round 6, Pick 17, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223
Rnd7
Princewill Umanmielen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Princewill Umanmielen well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They did well to land Trey Zuhn III in the 243rd pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
