FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took Khari Coleman a full 77 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
However the rest shakes out, Coleman at that price is a win they earned.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at pick No. 36. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 40th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Will Shipley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Shipley well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Dillon Johnson at slot 102, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Oladapo. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in pick No. 183; it is a wash and a sensible one. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick223
Rnd7
Khari Coleman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khari Coleman this early at the Round 7 slot. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
