Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders let Metcalf fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Call it larceny. TJ Metcalf sat on the board until the 223rd pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

So much rides on Matayo Uiagalelei that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 7th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard slid further than he should have, and pick 71 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
Good price on Whit Weeks in the 145th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Christian Gray
Christian Gray at Round 6, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite slipping to No. 196 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in slot 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
