Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in No. 91 lands the Commanders a B+, Branch and all.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Zachariah Branch, the No. 61 name on the board, sitting there at No. 91 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The cost of the Whittington reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermod McCoy in the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They paid sticker price for Akheem Mesidor in pick No. 39, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 71st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Steal is underselling it; Zachariah Branch at the 91st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 7 with a little surplus value in Malik Benson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at No. 149 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A straight-up fair deal on Ephesians Prysock at pick 187, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at slot 209 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
They will replay Eric McAlister at No. 223 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
