Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Commanders, and a C+ to match.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Patrick Payton at No. 191 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They reached into another round for Nicholas Singleton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at pick 147, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in the 191st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
