Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did enough to get by: C+.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 245 on Dayon Hayes a full 66 spots early. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Crenshaw-Dickson. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at Round 2, Pick 29 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in pick 128 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slipping to slot 205 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
They reached a country mile for Dayon Hayes at the 245th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
