Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Devan Thompkins at the 106th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Umanmielen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 David Stone
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Princewill Umanmielen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Princewill Umanmielen this early at slot 36. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at Round 2, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tae Johnson
Tae Johnson at No. 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in pick 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Devin McCuin
They took Devin McCuin at par in the 143rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
No edge and no loss on Braelin Moore in the 183rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
They paid a round early for Niki Prongos in pick No. 225, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
