Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Washington steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Breece Hall leading the way. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington slid further than he should have, and slot 36 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brice Pollock
They took Brice Pollock at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Rasheem Biles
By-the-book stuff, Rasheem Biles at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Corey Myrick
Corey Myrick at No. 141 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore in pick No. 182 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Mason Curtis
Nice patience on Mason Curtis, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 4. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
