Chaim34 DRAFTING FOR THECommanders
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
B-
ValueB+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-. Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Commanders to leave a draft.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Downs. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In No. 12 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick78
Rnd3
Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. at Round 5, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jackson Arnold
No edge and no loss on Jackson Arnold in slot 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203
Rnd6
Trey Moore
By-the-book stuff, Trey Moore at the 203rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
They paid sticker price for Shamar Easter in pick 229, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
