Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureC+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent the Round 7 slot on Phillip Webb, a name most had 86 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Winston Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 29th pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A slide stopped in the 109th overall pick, with Cam Skattebo worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 4, Pick 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They barely believed it either: Hollin Pierce still on the board at No. 139. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 162 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at the 238th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
