Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Nyck Harbor, 23 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at No. 68 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Blake Miller
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Blake Miller worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in slot 186, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills is a better player than the 191st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 220th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
