Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Vincent Anthony Jr., 55 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 26th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Kobi Lane in pick No. 57. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They took Deontae Lawson at par in Round 3, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached a country mile for Vincent Anthony Jr. at slot 139, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Smith in the 147th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Lee Hunter. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at the 191st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
