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

Some picks age like wine; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 205 will need to, sitting 49 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, McMillan makes the weekend a net positive.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than slot 61, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 205th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in pick 245, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
