Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Grand theft in pick No. 221: the Commanders steal Howard and grade out a A-.

When a board-topper like Will Howard slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in pick 34, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Mbow at the 61st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 206th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Somehow JJ Pegues was still sitting there in No. 207, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Will Howard
Will Howard in slot 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
They will replay Alex Mastromanno at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at pick 250 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
