Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Commanders walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Barber lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk

In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.

Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Barber

A premium they did not need to pay, Austin Barber a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun

They took Davison Igbinosun at par in the 145th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick185 Rnd6 Bud Clark

Nothing to complain about; Bud Clark went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.

Pick196 Rnd6 Barion Brown

They jumped the gun on Barion Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Pick223 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet

Brett Norfleet in No. 223 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
