Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 146: the Commanders steal Henderson and grade out a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 146.

Lee III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 31 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 59 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 79 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the 146th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Will Lee III
A big swing on Will Lee III at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the 235th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
You do not let a safety like Xavier Nwankpa reach No. 246 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
