Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

The Commanders' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at pick No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sullivan Absher
Sullivan Absher in No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinten Joyner. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman at slot 196 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
