Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Shilo Sanders at slot 237 is 42 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A wild overpay on Nick Emmanwori in slot 60, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tacario Davis this early at No. 76. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in pick No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 191st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the 203rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Armand Membou
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Armand Membou. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tory Horton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tory Horton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in slot 237 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
