Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Sturdivant fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and J.Michael Sturdivant fell into pick No. 203. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in Round 2, Pick 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
No drama and no debate, Patrick Payton went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A clean, defensible pick in the 127th overall pick with a little surplus value in Maxwell Hairston. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nick Martin
They let Nick Martin come to them and pounced at No. 191. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in slot 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 236 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
