Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 68: the Commanders steal Scott and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Justin Scott slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In slot 4 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Steal is underselling it; Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Circle this one: Justin Scott at the 68th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Taking Keon Sabb in pick 105 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at No. 141 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
They paid sticker price for Braelin Moore in pick No. 182, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Elijah Paige
They read the board right and Elijah Paige was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 5. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
