Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
Sanders should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: T.J. Sanders, the No. 24 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 20. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 30th pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at No. 146 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at pick No. 203. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A cornerback of that caliber at the 247th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
