Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Commanders.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took David Walker at No. 61 regardless, 48 picks early. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

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

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 David Walker
David Walker at slot 61 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks slipping to No. 205 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Steal is underselling it; Caleb Ransaw at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
