Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

The Commanders did not so much draft Bryce Lance as overpay for him, 35 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 13 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bryce Lance
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Lance. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They paid up for Connor Lew at slot 75 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
You do not let a cornerback like Jalon Kilgore reach Round 4, Pick 30 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 147 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in the 187th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board had Jeff Caldwell higher than pick No. 209, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
They jumped the gun on Noah Whittington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
