Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Commanders let Blue fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Higgins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Blue steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at Round 1, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They went early on Jayden Higgins in pick 42, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A quiet steal in pick No. 128: Anthony Belton for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Somehow Jaydon Blue was still sitting there in the 205th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They read the board right and Isaac TeSlaa was the payoff at the 245th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
