Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 246th pick: the Commanders steal Higgins and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If Green pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Their trades came out a wash either way.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
The board had Benjamin Morrison higher than pick No. 56, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in slot 78, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They liked Jaeden Roberts enough to skip the value, taking him in the 147th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at the 198th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd7 Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 239 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 7, Pick 32 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
