Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesD- FutureA
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took Joe Milton III a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Getting Wiggins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Value with a capital V on Nate Wiggins in the 36th pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in the 100th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
