Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Steven Parker at the Round 7 slot regardless, 129 picks early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kandra. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to pick No. 79. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at the 148th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 207. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Steven Parker
A wild overpay on Steven Parker in No. 250, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
