Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B+.

Nobody else had Da'Shawn Womack anywhere near slot 223. The Commanders did, by 35 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. It is not that Styles is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with tight end, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick71 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derrick Moore well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at Round 3, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 126th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nic Anderson in the 146th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Value with a capital V on Earnest Greene III in slot 186, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
No drama and no debate, Antonio Kite went about where he belonged in pick No. 197. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
They reached a country mile for Da'Shawn Womack at the 223rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
