Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Simon from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cody Simon, the No. 129 name on the board, in the 205th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They are betting Frazier proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 29 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at pick No. 128, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 130th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 168th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in No. 205 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
A real head-scratcher, Jaydon Blue in Round 7, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
