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

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Barryn Sorrell at the Round 6 slot regardless, 107 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Harvey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 29th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They did well to land Elic Ayomanor in Round 2, Pick 29, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick No. 207. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Shemar James
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Shemar James in slot 250, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
