Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Keaten Wade, 94 picks ahead of schedule. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Styles.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Sonny Styles that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They did well to land Lee Hunter in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They talked themselves into Nicholas Singleton at the 71st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 31, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in slot 145 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hall. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at No. 196 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J. Michael Sturdivant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
