Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Commanders let Winston Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Kevin Winston Jr. slide 96 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 22nd overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at pick 56. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Green
Mike Green in No. 80 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 192 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the 230th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Logan Jones
They will replay Logan Jones at No. 237 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Elijah Roberts
You do not let an edge rusher like Elijah Roberts reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
