Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B to prove it.

Nobody else had Jalen Travis anywhere near pick 205. The Commanders did, by 78 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

On value alone, Norman-Lott makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
By-the-book stuff, Bradyn Swinson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
No edge and no loss on Maxwell Hairston in the 66th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to slot 74, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jayden Higgins in No. 97, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Circle this one: Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 104 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 114th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
No drama and no debate, Terrance Ferguson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 18. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. is a better player than pick 128 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Parrish at the 141st pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Nice patience on Cobee Bryant, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 200 with a little surplus value in Joshua Gray. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A wild overpay on Nick Martin in No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
