Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Oluwafemi Oladejo went at pick No. 148, a good 93 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Bassa pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Good price on Shemar Stewart in Round 1, Pick 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A quiet steal in pick 61: Aireontae Ersery for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A reach for Brashard Smith in the 103rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 148, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in the 181st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the 207th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Value with a capital V on Trevor Etienne in pick 238, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in No. 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
