Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

The James Williams pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 36 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mikail Kamara
A conviction pick on Mikail Kamara at the 24th pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
They went early on Kaytron Allen in pick No. 88, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at the 163rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 James Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Williams this early at Round 6, Pick 26. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
No drama and no debate, Tony Grimes went about where he belonged in No. 237. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
