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

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 128 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 239 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Lee III left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A tidy little value on Xavier Restrepo in slot 56, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in pick 78 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at pick No. 198 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach No. 239 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 246th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
