Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 19 lands the Commanders a B+, Sanders and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Raheim Sanders, pick No. 235, roughly 89 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 59 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 76th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach on Savion Williams in pick No. 97; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 135th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
Circle this one: Daylen Everette at slot 146 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 202 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at Round 7, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
