Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., 66 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They banked enough surplus on Chambliss to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Steve Avila gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Somehow Arvell Reese was still sitting there in Round 1, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They took Daylen Everette at par in the 71st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
They let Eric Singleton Jr. come to them and pounced at pick 96. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Blake Miller
A slide stopped in the 146th overall pick, with Blake Miller worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 197th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
