Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jaydon Blue at Round 7, Pick 29. The Commanders jumped the board by 71 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A wild overpay on Jordan Burch in pick No. 63, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Taking Jayden Higgins in the 109th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
A conviction pick on Aeneas Peebles at slot 128 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They robbed the room for Logan Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 David Walker
They will replay David Walker at No. 177 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Shemar James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar James this early at the Round 6 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at the 245th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
