Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureB
The Commanders let Paul Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 84 name on the board, sitting there at pick 132 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Powell-Ryland has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 65th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at the 109th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at slot 128 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A tidy bit of business in No. 180, where Jack Nelson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Colby in pick 205, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in slot 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
