Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

The Commanders did not so much draft Phillip Webb as overpay for him, 94 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Landing Milroe that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They will replay Charles Grant at slot 130 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at pick No. 170. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 205th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 244th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
