Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Commanders steal Washington and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: A'Mauri Washington, pick No. 66, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Coleman-Williams left real value on the table behind him. Adding Alontae Taylor by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
They paid up for Ryan Coleman-Williams at slot 35 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 66th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jyaire Hill. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
A tidy little value on Whit Weeks in the 145th pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis slipping to pick No. 185 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Good price on Andrew Rappleyea in Round 6, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
Somehow TJ Metcalf was still sitting there in pick 223, and they pounced on premier safety value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
