Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Thompson reach set the tone, and the Commanders never recovered: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Thompson at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Moss.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with wide receiver still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick146 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 6, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Darian Mensah
They will replay Darian Mensah at slot 197 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at No. 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 223rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
No drama and no debate, Shamar Easter went about where he belonged in pick No. 237. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at Round 7, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at No. 253 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Good price on Tristan Leigh in pick No. 254, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
