Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 31 picks early on Tyreak Sapp, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Harvey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 7 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at pick 71 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the 145th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in pick No. 185; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey slipping to Round 6, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A clean, defensible pick in the 223rd pick with a little surplus value in Brett Norfleet. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
