Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a B-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Evan Tengesdahl went at the 237th pick, a good 46 picks before the board was ready.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Allen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Somehow CJ Allen was still sitting there in pick 62, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 88th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
A straight-up fair deal on Quinten Joyner at Round 5, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Marquis Johnson
No drama and no debate, Marquis Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 202. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Tengesdahl
They reached into another round for Evan Tengesdahl, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
