Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent the 128th overall pick on Oluwafemi Oladejo, a name the board had a full 110 spots lower. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 61. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in slot 63, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
They reached into another round for Terrance Ferguson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A real head-scratcher, Sai'vion Jones in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 128, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Emery Jones Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 133rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at No. 142. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 169th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick205 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Steal is underselling it; JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
They will replay Kyle Williams at pick 236 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in pick No. 248 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
