Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Paul Jr.: B.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 29 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Chris Paul Jr., the No. 88 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Watkins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 29th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 61st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at Round 4, Pick 27. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They robbed the room for Elijah Arroyo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A conviction pick on Vernon Broughton at pick No. 148 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at slot 207 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They liked Clay Webb enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 238. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jordan Watkins
They reached a country mile for Jordan Watkins at slot 250, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
