Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Gabe Jacas, 27 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 7 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Jacas in slot 71 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aamil Wagner in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 185th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
A tidy little value on Keyshaun Elliott in pick No. 196, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at Round 7, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
