Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Commanders' weekend. D+.

Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at the 29th pick will need to, sitting 323 spots clear of his grade. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Phillip Webb
In the 29th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in pick No. 61 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ahmed Hassanein this early at the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at slot 205 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at the 245th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
