Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Commanders let Higgins fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Jay Higgins slides to No. 236, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 65 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy slid further than he should have, and the 146th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They talked themselves into Ty Hamilton at the 186th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
A real head-scratcher, Jahvaree Ritzie in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Taking Hayden Conner in pick 225 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at No. 236 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
