Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Commanders. For now, C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Derrick Moore at the 81st pick, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Matayo Uiagalelei and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
They talked themselves into Derrick Moore at the 81st pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Value said wait; Adepoju Adebawore in the 156th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kalil Alexander. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jahiem White
They paid sticker price for Jahiem White in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Peyton Bowen. A minor itch, scratched.
