Overall B-

ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took Patrick Payton a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick8 Rnd1 Carnell Tate

In slot 8 they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick72 Rnd3 Colton Hood

A reasonable price with a little left over, Colton Hood in the 72nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick148 Rnd5 CJ Baxter

A tidy little value on CJ Baxter in pick 148, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick185 Rnd6 Adon Shuler

A premium they did not need to pay, Adon Shuler a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick196 Rnd6 Patrick Payton

Patrick Payton at Round 6, Pick 18 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
