Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Larceny in slot 146 lands the Commanders a C+, Scott and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Scott fell into the 146th pick. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Derrick Moore. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the 102nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in pick No. 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Jatta in Round 6, Pick 17, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
They will replay Josh Cuevas at pick 223 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
