Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

Nobody else had Dillon Gabriel anywhere near Round 6, Pick 10. The Commanders did, by 105 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
They reached a country mile for Jaheim Bell at the 71st pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at Round 4, Pick 7 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in slot 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at pick 185 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 228th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
