Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Commanders, and a C+ to match.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Davison Igbinosun went at the Round 2 slot, a good 81 picks before the board was ready.

Landing Hill Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 55. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Derrick Moore in the 71st pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at pick 145, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 170th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They did well to land Thaddeus Dixon in the 185th pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Hemby. A need, and now a little less of one.
