Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Pearce Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
