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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Commanders never addressed tight end, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Coleman Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Young pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In No. 7 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zion Young
They paid a round early for Zion Young in Round 3, Pick 7, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Blake Miller
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Blake Miller graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They let Kevin Coleman Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 187. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 197th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
Nothing to complain about; Makhi Hughes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
