Draft Grade — Commanders

Williams should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Nohl Williams, the No. 177 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

Every board in the league had Ivey lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at Round 2, Pick 29 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 128 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A slide stopped in the 205th pick, with Roc Taylor worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Upton Stout
You do not let a safety like Upton Stout reach No. 236 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
The board fumbled Nohl Williams all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
