Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Bryant: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cobee Bryant, Round 7, Pick 20, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 30th overall pick they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 61 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at slot 79 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A slide stopped in pick 131, with Anthony Belton worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in No. 208, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach the 238th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
