Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Easter proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Bradley Chubb pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick72 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jyaire Hill. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at slot 184 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in the 188th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at pick No. 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
