Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Saka has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Lew value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Value with a capital V on Connor Lew in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Anto Saka
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anto Saka this early at No. 89. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 108th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at pick 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 LJ Martin
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LJ Martin. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
No drama and no debate, Max Iheanachor went about where he belonged in pick No. 152. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key at slot 197 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in pick No. 223 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
