Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it. The Commanders did not so much draft Teddye Buchanan as overpay for him, 42 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Hampton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick61
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 61st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the 129th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 210 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245
Rnd7
John Williams
A wild overpay on John Williams in pick No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
