Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureF
The Commanders did enough to get by: C+.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 243 on Reid Carrico a full 56 spots early. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Price.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 28th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Akheem Mesidor. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in pick 59 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
No drama and no debate, Germie Bernard went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 5. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jadarian Price at pick No. 71. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Good price on Michael Trigg in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A clean, defensible pick in No. 145 with a little surplus value in Beau Stephens. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than the 165th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A real head-scratcher, Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick No. 196 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at the 223rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Reid Carrico
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Reid Carrico well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
