Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Rivers fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Chandler Rivers tumbling to the Commanders in the 88th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 24th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Deion Burks
Steal is underselling it; Deion Burks at the 163rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kelby Collins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kelby Collins. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Fair-plus on Dante Dowdell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
