Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Patrick Payton, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Canady where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 7 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 71st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World is a better player than No. 145 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Good price on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick No. 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick196 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jadon Canady in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
