Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Eric Gentry, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McAlister value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A big swing on Mikail Kamara at Round 3, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A slide stopped in pick No. 145, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A quiet steal in No. 185: Eric McAlister for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman slid further than he should have, and the 196th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in slot 223 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
