Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureD-
The Commanders let Perkins Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Harold Perkins Jr. sat on the board until pick 202, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 19 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick80 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in No. 80, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A quiet steal in slot 84: Gunnar Helm for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 147th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They jumped the gun on Garrett Dellinger, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Aydan White
A premium they did not need to pay, Aydan White a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
