Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Chambliss should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Trinidad Chambliss slides to Round 7, Pick 5, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Hunter left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 6 they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
The board had Deontae Lawson higher than No. 76, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They liked Tacario Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 14. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
No edge and no loss on Eric Rivers in slot 147; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A conviction pick on Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 186 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in the 191st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the 220th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
