Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most.

However the rest shakes out, White at that price is a win they earned. The Lucas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 12 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick78 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas in the 78th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 152nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Nice patience on Lander Barton, who had no business lasting to No. 192. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick203 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 203 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jahiem White
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jahiem White in slot 229. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
