Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Ollie Gordon II slide 38 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 2 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 66 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd4 Blake Miller
The board fumbled Blake Miller all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd5 Malik Spencer
Malik Spencer in slot 130 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd6 Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks is a better player than the 162nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sean Martin
They let Sean Martin come to them and pounced at the 183rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
