Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B.

The war room fell hard for Darrell Jackson Jr., and it showed at pick 72: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Nick Bolton deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 9 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 72nd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They did well to land Elijah Sarratt in the 80th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bud Clark in slot 109. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 115 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in the 147th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Value with a capital V on Beau Stephens in Round 5, Pick 27, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
