Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in No. 179 lands the Commanders a D, Rourke and all.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rourke.

The TeSlaa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in the 56th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 32, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They let Barrett Carter come to them and pounced at the 109th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Value with a capital V on Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Good price on Dorian Strong in No. 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nothing to complain about; Bhayshul Tuten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at the 179th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
Fair-plus on CJ West, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter slid further than he should have, and pick 200 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They did well to land KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 205, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cam Miller
They read the board right and Cam Miller was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at pick 221, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A premium they did not need to pay, Teddye Buchanan a notch or two before his time. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A conviction pick on Hayden Conner at pick No. 255 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
