Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 7 on Roman Hemby a full 45 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hill Jr..

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 26 they get a seam-stretching tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
No drama and no debate, Omar Cooper Jr. went about where he belonged in the 71st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in slot 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Good price on Thaddeus Dixon in Round 6, Pick 6, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 196th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They reached into another round for Roman Hemby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
