Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 229th overall pick on Alex Birchmeier a full 40 spots early.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Joly to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 14th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 78 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Joly
They let Justin Joly come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 12. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
They paid sticker price for Rasheem Biles in No. 192, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun in the 203rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
They talked themselves into Alex Birchmeier at slot 229, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
