Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Adepoju Adebawore went at Round 6, Pick 6, a good 43 picks before the board was ready.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 6th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zion Young
Zion Young in pick 68 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho in Round 5, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 191st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
They took Quinten Joyner at par in pick No. 220, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
