Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent slot 128 on Kyle Williams, a name most had 44 spots down the list.

The Monangai pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board had Xavier Watts higher than slot 61, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
They reached into another round for Kyle Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in pick No. 205, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
You do not let a running back like Kyle Monangai reach the 245th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
