Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Davison Igbinosun at Round 3, Pick 32 regardless, 51 picks early.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 LT Overton
In No. 32 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
By-the-book stuff, Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A tidy little value on Nicholas Singleton in the 91st pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in the 126th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Lander Barton well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in slot 223 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
