Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Washington: B.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A'Mauri Washington fell into No. 71.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 7th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at slot 71. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in pick 145 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
They let Mason Curtis come to them and pounced at pick No. 185. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick196 Rnd6 Edrees Farooq
Edrees Farooq at Round 6, Pick 17 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mark Nabou Jr. in the 223rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
