Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA
The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: D+. The Commanders torched the value chart for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., taking him 54 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Daniels pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In slot 30 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kenyatta Jackson Jr. this early at the 62nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
They let Deontae Lawson come to them and pounced at pick 71. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 116 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at the 130th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in pick No. 146. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at slot 188 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 223 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in the 226th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
