Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
Larceny in pick 250 lands the Commanders a B, Hancock and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jordan Hancock had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Burch reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at slot 61. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They talked themselves into Jordan Burch at No. 79, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
You do not let a wide receiver like Elic Ayomanor reach pick 85 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Nice patience on Mello Dotson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 148. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 29 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in the 250th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
