Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B+.

Nobody had Joe Milton III this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 26 spots to get him at the 174th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Mitchell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than Round 2, Pick 4, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to pick No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 65th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A slide stopped in slot 78, with Devontez Walker worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 114 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 222nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Sundell at pick No. 246 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
