Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD- FutureA
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 68 on Kenyatta Jackson Jr. a full 57 spots early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 24th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at slot 68 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis slid further than he should have, and pick 134 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
A straight-up fair deal on Sammy Omosigho at Round 5, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A tidy little value on Aamil Wagner in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at Round 6, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Value said wait; Desmond Reid in the 220th pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
