Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 156 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 34. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in pick No. 61, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A real head-scratcher, Savion Williams in slot 79 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to the 148th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 6, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
By-the-book stuff, Maxen Hook at the 238th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 250 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
