Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-. The Commanders torched the value chart for Tyler Onyedim, taking him 57 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The Hurst pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In the 7th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 71st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick No. 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185
Rnd6
Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Steal is underselling it; Ted Hurst at Round 6, Pick 17 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Tyler Onyedim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Onyedim well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
