Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Commanders steal Zvada and grade out a B+.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dominic Zvada, the No. 95 name on the board, in pick 236.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Armand Membou
By-the-book stuff, Armand Membou at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to slot 79, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in pick 94, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 96th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick107 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Demetrius Knight Jr. while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in pick No. 119 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in Round 4, Pick 27 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 146. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They paid sticker price for Jaeden Roberts in the 156th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at slot 236 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A reach on Garrett Dellinger in pick 247; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
