Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Robert Spears-Jennings at the 223rd pick, roughly 38 spots before his name belonged. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Getting Banks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Adding Harold Landry III by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at slot 55. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had Omar Cooper Jr. higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 71st pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Good price on Nicholas Singleton in Round 4, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A tidy little value on Jalon Kilgore in pick 123, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 125th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 145 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A straight-up fair deal on Ephesians Prysock at the 185th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Value said wait; Miles Kitselman in Round 6, Pick 17 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in No. 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at slot 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
