FutureC
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B. Some picks age like wine; Tim Smith at pick 247 will need to, sitting 44 spots clear of his grade.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Knight Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
A tidy bit of business in the 29th pick, where Luther Burden III graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 40 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board had Demetrius Knight Jr. higher than No. 79, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
Nice patience on Jason Marshall Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 146. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the 236th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tim Smith
They reached into another round for Tim Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
