Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 101: the Commanders steal Wilson and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Johnny Wilson slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 1. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 36. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in slot 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 79th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in the 103rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 138 with a little surplus value in James Williams. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Jones
A tidy bit of business in the 244th overall pick, where Myles Jones graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
