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

You build a draft on nights like this. Trevor Etienne had no business being available in slot 238, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 29 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in the 61st pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 2: Tez Johnson for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A slide stopped in pick No. 148, with Darius Alexander worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They read the board right and Dorian Strong was the payoff at the 181st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at No. 207 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at pick 238 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Briningstool at Round 7, Pick 32. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
