Draft Grade — Commanders

Grand theft in slot 249: the Commanders steal Alexander and grade out a B+.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Zy Alexander, the No. 97 name on the board, in the 249th overall pick.

Every board in the league had Martin lower, and that gap is the story. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 29th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at the 75th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 109 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to slot 128, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cody Simon at pick No. 138 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They took Bhayshul Tuten at par in pick 148, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Steal is underselling it; Hollin Pierce at the 166th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 169, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylin Noel
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jaylin Noel in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tai Felton
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 206th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sean Martin
A real head-scratcher, Sean Martin in slot 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
They will replay Zy Alexander at No. 249 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
