MikeyBaby DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 26: the Commanders steal Green and grade out a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Taylen Green, the No. 151 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 202. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the 24th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 88th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dane Key
Dane Key in slot 163 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237
Rnd7
Dante Dowdell
No drama and no debate, Dante Dowdell went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 21. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
