Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Collin Oliver, 70 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Alexander. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They let Aireontae Ersery come to them and pounced at No. 61. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Sampson at pick 79 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Nothing to complain about; Alijah Huzzie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
