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

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Jalen Travis, 70 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

On value alone, McMillan makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They will replay Tetairoa McMillan at No. 38 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 61 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jackson at the 77th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick 95, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 128 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brashard Smith at the 141st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at slot 167 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They liked Jackson Hawes enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 245. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
