Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureA+
The Commanders won the night they stopped Sabb from sliding. Grade: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Sabb tumbling to the Commanders in pick 106 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The Ross reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Charlie Becker and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Charlie Becker
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Ross
A big swing on Jordan Ross at No. 36, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
David Stone
They robbed the room for David Stone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in pick 68, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at the 78th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
Taking Keon Sabb in pick No. 106 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143
Rnd5
DJ McKinney
No edge and no loss on DJ McKinney in the 143rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jayden Jackson
A tidy bit of business in slot 158, where Jayden Jackson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jayce Brown
A reach for Jayce Brown in No. 160; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183
Rnd6
Demond Williams Jr.
A quarterback of that caliber at the 183rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225
Rnd7
Coen Echols
Coen Echols in Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
