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

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.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 6th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in pick 60 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached into another round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Harold Perkins Jr. this early at No. 83. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick No. 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in pick 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
