Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Commanders did exactly that with Taylen Green in the Round 5 slot. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That Manning pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
They went early on Nyck Harbor in No. 44, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Arch Manning
Somehow Arch Manning was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 8, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 77 with a little surplus value in Deontae Lawson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in the 148th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 178th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 196th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at slot 222 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
