Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Gadsden II: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Oronde Gadsden II got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 183. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Reaching for Tuten left real value on the table behind him. The Myles Garrett deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A tidy little value on Savion Williams in the 101st pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 112 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 148 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ollie Gordon II. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the 183rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They barely believed it either: Chase Lundt still on the board at slot 207. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No edge and no loss on Tonka Hemingway in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
By-the-book stuff, Rayuan Lane III at pick No. 253 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
