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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In slot 7 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sullivan Absher
Sullivan Absher at the 145th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
No drama and no debate, Quinten Joyner went about where he belonged in pick No. 185. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Conner Weigman
Good price on Conner Weigman in pick 196, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. at the 223rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
