Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 29: the Commanders steal Sanker and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jonas Sanker got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at the 245th pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

TeSlaa has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the 30th pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in pick 63, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 4, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in pick No. 109, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They paid up for Logan Brown at slot 128 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board had cheaper options than Connor Colby at the 169th overall pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
They took Jaydon Blue at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac TeSlaa. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Shemar James
They went early on Shemar James in Round 7, Pick 10, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Steal is underselling it; Jonas Sanker at the 245th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick251 Rnd7 Willie Lampkin
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Willie Lampkin in slot 251, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
