Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B-. The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Deontae Lawson fell into the 187th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
They will need Hodge to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
The board had cheaper options than Kadyn Proctor at Round 1, Pick 7, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Diego Pavia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Diego Pavia. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in slot 146 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187
Rnd6
Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at pick No. 187. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197
Rnd6
Preston Hodge
They reached into another round for Preston Hodge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223
Rnd7
Vincent Anthony Jr.
Somehow Vincent Anthony Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The roster fit checks out.
