Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in No. 157 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Quinshon Judkins, the No. 73 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Good price on Luther Burden III in pick 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JT Tuimoloau. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 79th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach No. 157 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in slot 235, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gentry Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
