Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB- TradesA- FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B+.

There is reaching, and then there is Adepoju Adebawore at pick 158. The Commanders jumped the board by 71 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Styles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sonny Styles at pick 49. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
They took A'Mauri Washington at par in pick No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Fair-plus on Michael Taaffe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 75th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Charles Jagusah
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Jagusah. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in No. 147 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adepoju Adebawore well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in No. 186 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 191. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Lawson Luckie in pick 220, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
