Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Alexander: B+.

When a board-topper like Zy Alexander slides to slot 250, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 61 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the 79th pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in slot 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach the 207th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at No. 238 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Taking Zy Alexander in pick No. 250 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
