Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Commanders won the night they stopped Weeks from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Whit Weeks, Round 7, Pick 4, roughly 64 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Every board in the league had Ross lower, and that gap is the story.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 14th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 A.J. Holmes Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 36, with A.J. Holmes Jr. worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jordan Ross
They paid up for Jordan Ross at the 60th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in No. 68 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain at Round 4, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick141 Rnd5 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola at slot 141 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 John Curry
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: John Curry for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
