Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Skattebo: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at slot 202.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 60 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 146 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick 202, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at Round 7, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at slot 246. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
