Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Muhammad should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Malik Muhammad slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick 106. Highway robbery.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Mesidor reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A reach for Akheem Mesidor in the 38th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
A slide stopped in No. 59, with Antonio Williams worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at the 71st pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
You do not let a cornerback like Malik Muhammad reach pick 106 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at slot 145 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick185 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at Round 6, Pick 6 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at pick No. 196 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
