Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 46 picks early on J.C. Davis, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They banked enough surplus on Hancock to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They read the board right and Josaiah Stewart was the payoff at slot 61. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 79th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 148th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Nice patience on Luke Lachey, who had no business lasting to pick 207. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at No. 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
