Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA TradesC- FutureA+
The Commanders robbed the room for Ersery. Final grade: B+.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Aireontae Ersery, the No. 118 name on the board, in slot 164. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 4th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick68 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. slipping to pick No. 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd5 Derrick Moore
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 4, where Derrick Moore graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
A clean, defensible pick in the 174th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kyren Lacy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
