Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: D-.

The Xavier Nwankpa selection is the head-turner. The Commanders reached 72 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

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. Landing Green that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 24 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in No. 56, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 65th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They paid sticker price for Daylen Everette in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
A wild overpay on Xavier Nwankpa in the 116th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
A reach on Jadarian Price in pick 124; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Nice patience on Blake Miller, who had no business lasting to pick No. 146. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
By-the-book stuff, Oscar Delp at Round 6, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in No. 197 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.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taylen Green
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Taylen Green in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
