Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

When a board-topper like Rylie Mills slides to the 130th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Howard pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reach for TreVeyon Henderson in No. 34; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
No drama and no debate, Josh Simmons went about where he belonged in the 66th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at No. 98 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
The board fumbled Rylie Mills all the way to pick 130, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd6 Zach Rice
Zach Rice at the 162nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Will Howard
A big swing on Will Howard at Round 6, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
