Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at the 203rd pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Tight end was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 29th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 79th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at No. 203 is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick236 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Somehow Karene Reid was still sitting there in pick 236, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 7, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
