Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Nix is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a D-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Carson Steele at the 180th pick, a reach of 114 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 17 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ladd McConkey well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 100th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 2, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at pick 139, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick No. 180 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
