Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 248th pick on Jaydon Blue a full 68 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Broughton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A tidy little value on JT Tuimoloau in the 56th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 61st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 30. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Simon at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 132, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board fumbled Vernon Broughton all the way to pick 170, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 205 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaydon Blue. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
