Draft Grade — Commanders

Larceny in slot 200 lands the Commanders a A, Rivers and all.

Call it larceny. Eric Rivers sat on the board until the 200th pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in No. 168 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at slot 200 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They let Jaishawn Barham come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 19. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
They read the board right and Kayin Lee was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Velling in pick No. 255. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
