Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureA
Grand theft in Round 2, Pick 26: the Commanders steal Scott and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Justin Scott tumbling to the Commanders in slot 58 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In pick No. 27 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Justin Scott
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 58th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill in Round 3, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braylon Staley
They did well to land Braylon Staley in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Greg Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. in pick 127 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Bowen. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Ponton
Jacob Ponton in slot 185 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis in the 196th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick223 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
A tidy little value on Christian Alliegro in slot 223, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
