Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Nobody else had Isaac TeSlaa anywhere near slot 205. The Commanders did, by 28 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Getting Savaiinaea where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Value with a capital V on Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 29, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bhayshul Tuten this early at the 128th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at the 205th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at No. 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
