Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesD- FutureA+
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Scott: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Justin Scott slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In the 17th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Justin Scott in Round 3, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Corey Myrick
Corey Myrick in pick No. 118 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen McClain
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen McClain at the 145th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick196 Rnd6 Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones at slot 196 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
Johntay Cook is a better player than pick 223 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
