Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Milum fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Wyatt Milum slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Ersery pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 60 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 74th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in slot 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach pick 127 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Value said wait; Kyren Lacy in Round 6, Pick 16 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
They barely believed it either: Josaiah Stewart still on the board at the 203rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Wyatt Milum in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shemar Turner
Circle this one: Shemar Turner at pick No. 237 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
