FutureA
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B to prove it. The Commanders torched the value chart for Oronde Gadsden II, taking him 68 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Clark. The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and interior defensive lineman still on the board. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson slipping to slot 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 4 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 49 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 53, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in the 71st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
A reach on Smael Mondon Jr. in the 92nd pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Khyree Jackson adds a defensive back and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 124th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Raheim Sanders. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 158 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185
Rnd6
Cam Hart
Nothing to complain about; Cam Hart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
You do not let a wide receiver like De'Corian Clark reach pick No. 228 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Zion Nelson
No edge and no loss on Zion Nelson in the 254th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
