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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Eric O'Neill, 24 picks ahead of schedule.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Wide receiver 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.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 7 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Jacas well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They paid a round early for Aamil Wagner in the 145th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric O'Neill. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Nothing to complain about; Trebor Pena went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
By-the-book stuff, Ahmaad Moses at the 223rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
