Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Edwards: B.

Somebody in pick 250 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Donovan Edwards, the No. 186 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. If Burch pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to No. 61. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at the 79th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Fair-plus on Alijah Huzzie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They went early on Cody Lindenberg in slot 238, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick 250 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
