Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Vincent Anthony Jr. went at pick No. 142, a good 37 picks before the board was ready.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. It is not that Haulcy is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Nothing to complain about; Jeremiyah Love went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
A slide stopped in pick 34, with Kenyon Sadiq worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 57th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, A.J. Haulcy adds a safety and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at slot 71 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick No. 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in slot 104 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in the 129th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142
Rnd5
Vincent Anthony Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Vincent Anthony Jr. in Round 5, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Louis at the 146th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They let Kevin Coleman Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Josh Moten
Josh Moten in No. 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
They took Isaiah Jatta at par in pick No. 197, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd7
Barion Brown
Good price on Barion Brown in slot 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at the 223rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241
Rnd7
London Humphreys
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on London Humphreys. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
