Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and King: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

If Gray pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back and interior defensive lineman still on the board.

Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 9th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in No. 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 35, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to pick 36. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Cedric Gray while clear needs at running back and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at slot 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick138 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to pick 138 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick No. 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They will replay Joe Milton III at the 220th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
