Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched A'Mauri Washington slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 71st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in the 145th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis at pick No. 185 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
They took Christian Alliegro at par in No. 196, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
Mark Nabou Jr. at slot 223 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
