Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 92 regardless, 83 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Thieneman to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 60 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at Round 4, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
They talked themselves into Lee Hunter at pick 145, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 198th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
A wild overpay on Desmond Reid in pick No. 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
