Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Jalen Travis, 48 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 61 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 128th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Gray at No. 205, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
