Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Simon: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cody Simon, the 205th pick, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will need Crenshaw-Dickson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 29 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 61st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Value said wait; Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick 248 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
