Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B.

Nobody had Oluwafemi Oladejo this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 56 spots to get him at slot 84. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Warren at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach for Maxwell Hairston in pick 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 70th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They will replay Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
No edge and no loss on Brashard Smith in pick No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 156 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 19 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at the 235th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at pick No. 245 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
