Buck DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA+
The Commanders let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: C+. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
They did well to land Troy Fautanu in slot 36, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in pick 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 102 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the 141st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181
Rnd6
Aki Ogunbiyi
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Thomas this early at Round 7, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Myles Jones
They barely believed it either: Myles Jones still on the board at the 230th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
