Draft Grade — Commanders

Grand theft in No. 247: the Commanders steal Reid and grade out a C+.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Karene Reid, the No. 181 name on the board, sitting there at pick 247 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The cost of the Mills reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Marcus Mbow
In pick No. 29 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
They reached a country mile for Rylie Mills at No. 79, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
The board had cheaper options than Dorian Strong at the 146th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at slot 203 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 236th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Karene Reid
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
