Conviction outran the board for the Commanders, and it cost them: F. The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kamran James at the 205th overall pick regardless, 69 picks early.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 7 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick13
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 29 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jadarian Price
Fair-plus on Jadarian Price, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 71st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in pick No. 93 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145
Rnd5
Red Murdock
A wild overpay on Red Murdock in the 145th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 167 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in Round 6, Pick 6 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Daevin Hobbs. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kamran James
Kamran James at pick 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
They paid sticker price for Brett Norfleet in pick No. 223, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
